How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 8 ÷ 32 = 0.25
- Multiply by 100: 0.25 × 100 = 25%
- Check: Work backwards: 25% of 32 is 0.25 × 32 = 8.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/32 = p/100, so p = 8 × 100 ÷ 32 = 25%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =8/32*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 between a quarter and a half of 32. The part that is left, 24, is the other 75%.
