How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 13 ÷ 27 = 0.481481
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.481481 × 100 = 48.1481%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 48.1481% of 27 is 0.481481 × 27 = 13.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/27 = p/100, so p = 13 × 100 ÷ 27 = 48.1481%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13/27*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.
