How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
  2. Divide the part by it: 60 ÷ 0.25 = 240
  3. Check: Work forwards: 25% of 240 is 0.25 × 240 = 60.

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

In a spreadsheet: =60/25%. 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

60 is the 25% share of 240. The other 75% is 180.

Discounts: if 60 dollars is a 25% saving, the original price was $240.

Using 1% as a stepping stone

If 25% is 60, then 1% is 60 ÷ 25 = 2.4, and any other percentage follows: 10% is 24, 50% is 120 and 100% is 240.
