How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 60 ÷ 100 = 0.6
- Divide the part by it: 75 ÷ 0.6 = 125
- Check: Work forwards: 60% of 125 is 0.6 × 125 = 75.
Another method. As a proportion: 75/whole = 60/100, so whole = 75 × 100 ÷ 60 = 125. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =75/60%. 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.
