How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 20 ÷ 100 = 0.2
  2. Divide the part by it: 75 ÷ 0.2 = 375
  3. Check: Work forwards: 20% of 375 is 0.2 × 375 = 75.

Another method. As a proportion: 75/whole = 20/100, so whole = 75 × 100 ÷ 20 = 375. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75/20%. 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

75 is the 20% share of 375. The other 80% is 300.

Discounts: if 75 dollars is a 20% saving, the original price was $375.

Using 1% as a stepping stone

If 20% is 75, then 1% is 75 ÷ 20 = 3.75, and any other percentage follows: 10% is 37.5, 50% is 187.5 and 100% is 375.
