Three ways to work it out
All three give the same answer — pick whichever is easiest to do in your head for these numbers.
| Method | Working | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Decimal | 80 × 0.25 | 20 |
| Divide by 100 first | (80 ÷ 100) × 25 = 0.8 × 25 | 20 |
| Ten-percent chunks | 10% of 80 = 8, then × 2.5 | 20 |

Handy when you are comparing a tip, a discount, or a tax rate rather than one fixed figure.
| Percent | of 80 | 80 minus it |
|---|---|---|

The reverse question
Going the other way — 20 is what percent of 80? — divides instead of multiplying: (20 ÷ 80) × 100 = 25%. That is the form to use when you know the part and the whole but not the rate, such as working out a score as a percentage or how much a price moved.
And to find the whole from the part: if 20 is 25% of some number, that number is 20 ÷ 0.25 = 80.
