How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75
  2. Divide the part by it: 75 ÷ 0.75 = 100
  3. Check: Work forwards: 75% of 100 is 0.75 × 100 = 75.

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

In a spreadsheet: =75/75%. 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

75 is the 75% share of 100. The other 25% is 25.

Discounts: if 75 dollars is a 75% saving, the original price was $100.

Using 1% as a stepping stone

If 75% is 75, then 1% is 75 ÷ 75 = 1, and any other percentage follows: 10% is 10, 50% is 50 and 100% is 100.
