How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75
- Divide the part by it: 30 ÷ 0.75 = 40
- Check: Work forwards: 75% of 40 is 0.75 × 40 = 30.
Another method. As a proportion: 30/whole = 75/100, so whole = 30 × 100 ÷ 75 = 40. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =30/75%. Multiplying the part by the percentage instead of dividing gives a smaller number. The whole must be bigger than the part whenever the percentage is below 100.
What the result means
30 is the 75% share of 40. The other 25% is 10.
Discounts: if 30 dollars is a 75% saving, the original price was $40.
Using 1% as a stepping stone
If 75% is 30, then 1% is 30 ÷ 75 = 0.4, and any other percentage follows: 10% is 4, 50% is 20 and 100% is 40.
