Divide 100 by the known percentage and multiply the result by the known part. This will calculate the whole.
Example:
£10 is equal to 25%.
Thus the whole = (100/25) * 10 = £40.

Percent equation
The increase from 0.32 to 0.37 is 0.05. To find out what part of 0.32 0.05 is, divide them. 0.05 divided by 0.32 = 0.15625 = 15.625%
they both show part of a whole number.
Either directly or by finding the area of the whole and subtracting the area of the non-shaded part.
Divide (the known part) by (the percent). The quotient is the whole unknown number.
Part = Whole*Percent/100
Divide a part of the whole by the whole and then multiply what you get by 100. This will give you the percentage of the part.
part over whole
divide the part, by the whole, then multiply your answer by 100
A percent equation is an equation that relates a part to the whole using percentages. It is commonly used to find the part, whole, or percent when the other two values are known. The equation typically takes the form: Part = Percent x Whole.

When expressing a math problem in words, the word "of" almost always means "multiply". Say that you know that 1199.91 is [equals] 23 percent of a number. The right side of the obvious equation is .23(a number), or .23x. 1199.91 equals .23x and all you have to do is divide both sides by .23 to find your answer. 1199.91/.23 is equal to 5217. If you have the part and the percent but you need to find the whole then this is the equation....for example 11 is 80% of_____? to figure it out you use this part over whole =percent over 100.... P =part, w=whole, and percent=x it looks like p x _ = _ w 100 The anser to my example one is W=13.75
Percent equation
Part of a whole where the whole contains 100 units.
