How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75
- Divide the part by it: 60 ÷ 0.75 = 80
- Check: Work forwards: 75% of 80 is 0.75 × 80 = 60.
Another method. As a proportion: 60/whole = 75/100, so whole = 60 × 100 ÷ 75 = 80. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =60/75%. 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
60 is the 75% share of 80. The other 25% is 20.
Discounts: if 60 dollars is a 75% saving, the original price was $80.
Using 1% as a stepping stone
If 75% is 60, then 1% is 60 ÷ 75 = 0.8, and any other percentage follows: 10% is 8, 50% is 40 and 100% is 80.
