How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 1 ÷ 23 = 0.043478
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.043478 × 100 = 4.3478%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.3478% of 23 is 0.043478 × 23 = 1.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/23 = p/100, so p = 1 × 100 ÷ 23 = 4.3478%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1/23*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.
