How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 20 ÷ 100 = 0.2
  2. Divide the part by it: 65 ÷ 0.2 = 325
  3. Check: Work forwards: 20% of 325 is 0.2 × 325 = 65.

Another method. As a proportion: 65/whole = 20/100, so whole = 65 × 100 ÷ 20 = 325. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =65/20%. 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

65 is the 20% share of 325. The other 80% is 260.

Discounts: if 65 dollars is a 20% saving, the original price was $325.

Using 1% as a stepping stone

If 20% is 65, then 1% is 65 ÷ 20 = 3.25, and any other percentage follows: 10% is 32.5, 50% is 162.5 and 100% is 325.
