How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75
  2. Divide the part by it: 90 ÷ 0.75 = 120
  3. Check: Work forwards: 75% of 120 is 0.75 × 120 = 90.

Another method. As a proportion: 90/whole = 75/100, so whole = 90 × 100 ÷ 75 = 120. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =90/75%. 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

90 is the 75% share of 120. The other 25% is 30.

Discounts: if 90 dollars is a 75% saving, the original price was $120.

Using 1% as a stepping stone

If 75% is 90, then 1% is 90 ÷ 75 = 1.2, and any other percentage follows: 10% is 12, 50% is 60 and 100% is 120.
