How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 12 ÷ 97 = 0.123711
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.123711 × 100 = 12.3711%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.3711% of 97 is 0.123711 × 97 = 12.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/97 = p/100, so p = 12 × 100 ÷ 97 = 12.3711%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =12/97*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.

What the result means
