How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 20 ÷ 100 = 0.2
  2. Divide the part by it: 35 ÷ 0.2 = 175
  3. Check: Work forwards: 20% of 175 is 0.2 × 175 = 35.

Another method. As a proportion: 35/whole = 20/100, so whole = 35 × 100 ÷ 20 = 175. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =35/20%. 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

35 is the 20% share of 175. The other 80% is 140.

Discounts: if 35 dollars is a 20% saving, the original price was $175.

Using 1% as a stepping stone

If 20% is 35, then 1% is 35 ÷ 20 = 1.75, and any other percentage follows: 10% is 17.5, 50% is 87.5 and 100% is 175.
