How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 8 ÷ 12 = 0.666667
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.666667 × 100 = 66.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 66.6667% of 12 is 0.666667 × 12 = 8.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/12 = p/100, so p = 8 × 100 ÷ 12 = 66.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8/12*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.

What the result means

8 is more than half but less than three quarters of 12. The part that is left, 4, is the other 33.3333%.

Test scores: 8 correct answers out of 12 is a score of 66.6667%, which on a common US grading scale is a D.
