How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
  2. Divide the part by it: 80 ÷ 0.25 = 320
  3. Check: Work forwards: 25% of 320 is 0.25 × 320 = 80.

Another method. As a proportion: 80/whole = 25/100, so whole = 80 × 100 ÷ 25 = 320. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =80/25%. 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

80 is the 25% share of 320. The other 75% is 240.

Discounts: if 80 dollars is a 25% saving, the original price was $320.

Using 1% as a stepping stone

If 25% is 80, then 1% is 80 ÷ 25 = 3.2, and any other percentage follows: 10% is 32, 50% is 160 and 100% is 320.
