How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
  2. Divide the part by it: 45 ÷ 0.25 = 180
  3. Check: Work forwards: 25% of 180 is 0.25 × 180 = 45.

Another method. As a proportion: 45/whole = 25/100, so whole = 45 × 100 ÷ 25 = 180. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =45/25%. 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

45 is the 25% share of 180. The other 75% is 135.

Discounts: if 45 dollars is a 25% saving, the original price was $180.

Using 1% as a stepping stone

If 25% is 45, then 1% is 45 ÷ 25 = 1.8, and any other percentage follows: 10% is 18, 50% is 90 and 100% is 180.
