How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 1 ÷ 81 = 0.012346
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.012346 × 100 = 1.2346%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.2346% of 81 is 0.012346 × 81 = 1.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/81 = p/100, so p = 1 × 100 ÷ 81 = 1.2346%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1/81*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.
