How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 115 ÷ 400 = 0.2875
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.2875 × 100 = 28.75%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28.75% of 400 is 0.2875 × 400 = 115.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 115/400 = p/100, so p = 115 × 100 ÷ 400 = 28.75%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =115/400*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.
