How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 18 = 0.944444
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.944444 × 100 = 94.4444%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 94.4444% of 18 is 0.944444 × 18 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/18 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 18 = 94.4444%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/18*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.
