How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
  2. Multiply: 0.25 × 1000 = 250
  3. Check: Work backwards: 250 ÷ 1000 × 100 = 25%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/1000, so part = 25 × 1000 ÷ 100 = 250. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =25%*1000. 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

250 is the 25% share of 1000. The remaining 75% is 750, and the two parts add back up to 1000.

Discounts: 25% off an item priced $1,000 saves $250, so you pay $750.

Adding and taking away 25%

Increasing 1000 by 25% gives 1,250 and decreasing it by 25% gives 750. These do not cancel out: raising 1000 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 937.5, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
