How to work it out

- Multiply by 100: 0.011905 × 100 = 1.1905%
- Check: Work backwards: 1.1905% of 84 is 0.011905 × 84 = 1.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/84 = p/100, so p = 1 × 100 ÷ 84 = 1.1905%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =1/84*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.
