How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 160 ÷ 100 = 1.6
  2. Multiply: 1.6 × 25 = 40
  3. Check: Work backwards: 40 ÷ 25 × 100 = 160%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 160/100 = part/25, so part = 160 × 25 ÷ 100 = 40. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =160%*25. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

What the result means

Because 160% is more than 100%, the answer is bigger than 25: it is 1.6 times 25.

Mark-ups: pricing an item at 160% of its $25 cost means selling it for $40.

Adding and taking away 160%

Increasing 25 by 160% gives 65. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 160% and then lowering the result by 160% ends at -39, because the second 160% is taken of a bigger number.
