How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 16 ÷ 36 = 0.444444
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.444444 × 100 = 44.4444%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 44.4444% of 36 is 0.444444 × 36 = 16.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/36 = p/100, so p = 16 × 100 ÷ 36 = 44.4444%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16/36*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.
