How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 11 ÷ 42 = 0.261905
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.261905 × 100 = 26.1905%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.1905% of 42 is 0.261905 × 42 = 11.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/42 = p/100, so p = 11 × 100 ÷ 42 = 26.1905%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11/42*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.
