How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 16 ÷ 98 = 0.163265
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.163265 × 100 = 16.3265%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.3265% of 98 is 0.163265 × 98 = 16.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/98 = p/100, so p = 16 × 100 ÷ 98 = 16.3265%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16/98*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.
