How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 15 ÷ 97 = 0.154639
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.154639 × 100 = 15.4639%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.4639% of 97 is 0.154639 × 97 = 15.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/97 = p/100, so p = 15 × 100 ÷ 97 = 15.4639%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15/97*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.
