45 is 75% of 60. Divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100: (45 ÷ 60) × 100 = 75%. A score of 45 out of 60 is therefore 75% — the same calculation that turns a test mark into a percentage. Enter any two numbers below to find the percentage one is of the other.

How it's calculated
Each mode uses a direct formula. "What is X% of Y" computes (X / 100) × Y. "X is what % of Y" computes (X / Y) × 100, requiring Y ≠ 0. "X is P% of what" solves for the base as X / (P / 100), requiring P ≠ 0. Percentage change is ((new − old) / |old|) × 100, signed, requiring the old value ≠ 0. Percentage difference is |A − B| / ((|A| + |B|) / 2) × 100, order-independent, requiring the two values not both be zero. "Add / subtract a percent" gives base × (1 + p / 100) and base × (1 − p / 100). All formulas follow standard mathematical definitions as documented on MathIsFun.
