How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 240 ÷ 100 = 2.4
  2. Multiply: 2.4 × 25 = 60
  3. Check: Work backwards: 60 ÷ 25 × 100 = 240%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 240/100 = part/25, so part = 240 × 25 ÷ 100 = 60. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =240%*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 240% is more than 100%, the answer is bigger than 25: it is 2.4 times 25.

Mark-ups: pricing an item at 240% of its $25 cost means selling it for $60.

Adding and taking away 240%

Increasing 25 by 240% gives 85. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 240% and then lowering the result by 240% ends at -119, because the second 240% is taken of a bigger number.
