Percentage of a number
Everyday
How to calculate what percentage?
Divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100. For example, 25 out of 200 is 12.5%.
Formula
part ÷ whole × 100
Worked example
- Part
- 25
- Whole
- 200
Applying the formula to these values gives 12.5 %.
What should I check?
The whole cannot be zero. A part larger than the whole gives a result above 100%.
