How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 29 = 0.586207
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.586207 × 100 = 58.6207%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 58.6207% of 29 is 0.586207 × 29 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/29 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 29 = 58.6207%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/29*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.
