How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 1 ÷ 16 = 0.0625
- Multiply by 100: 0.0625 × 100 = 6.25%
- Check: Work backwards: 6.25% of 16 is 0.0625 × 16 = 1.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/16 = p/100, so p = 1 × 100 ÷ 16 = 6.25%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =1/16*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.
