How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
  2. Divide the part by it: 90 ÷ 0.25 = 360
  3. Check: Work forwards: 25% of 360 is 0.25 × 360 = 90.

Another method. As a proportion: 90/whole = 25/100, so whole = 90 × 100 ÷ 25 = 360. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =90/25%. 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

90 is the 25% share of 360. The other 75% is 270.

Discounts: if 90 dollars is a 25% saving, the original price was $360.

Using 1% as a stepping stone

If 25% is 90, then 1% is 90 ÷ 25 = 3.6, and any other percentage follows: 10% is 36, 50% is 180 and 100% is 360.
