How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 90 ÷ 250 = 0.36
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.36 × 100 = 36%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 36% of 250 is 0.36 × 250 = 90.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/250 = p/100, so p = 90 × 100 ÷ 250 = 36%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =90/250*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

90 is between a quarter and a half of 250. The part that is left, 160, is the other 64%.
