How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 9 ÷ 24 = 0.375
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.375 × 100 = 37.5%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 37.5% of 24 is 0.375 × 24 = 9.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/24 = p/100, so p = 9 × 100 ÷ 24 = 37.5%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9/24*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

9 is between a quarter and a half of 24. The part that is left, 15, is the other 62.5%.

Test scores: 9 correct answers out of 24 is a score of 37.5%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around
