How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 16 ÷ 47 = 0.340426
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.340426 × 100 = 34.0426%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.0426% of 47 is 0.340426 × 47 = 16.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/47 = p/100, so p = 16 × 100 ÷ 47 = 34.0426%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16/47*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.
