How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 37 = 0.459459
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.459459 × 100 = 45.9459%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 45.9459% of 37 is 0.459459 × 37 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/37 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 37 = 45.9459%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/37*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.
