How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 12 ÷ 44 = 0.272727
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.272727 × 100 = 27.2727%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27.2727% of 44 is 0.272727 × 44 = 12.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/44 = p/100, so p = 12 × 100 ÷ 44 = 27.2727%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =12/44*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.
