How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 12 ÷ 98 = 0.122449
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.122449 × 100 = 12.2449%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.2449% of 98 is 0.122449 × 98 = 12.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/98 = p/100, so p = 12 × 100 ÷ 98 = 12.2449%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =12/98*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.
