How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 80 ÷ 200 = 0.4
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.4 × 100 = 40%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 40% of 200 is 0.4 × 200 = 80.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 80/200 = p/100, so p = 80 × 100 ÷ 200 = 40%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =80/200*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

80 is between a quarter and a half of 200. The part that is left, 120, is the other 60%.

Test scores: 80 correct answers out of 200 is a score of 40%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 80 is 40% of a number, you can get that number back: 80 ÷ 0.4 = 200. And 200 as a percentage of 80 is 250%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
