How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 10 ÷ 21 = 0.47619
- Multiply by 100: 0.47619 × 100 = 47.619%
- Check: Work backwards: 47.619% of 21 is 0.47619 × 21 = 10.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/21 = p/100, so p = 10 × 100 ÷ 21 = 47.619%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =10/21*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.
