How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 38 = 0.447368
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.447368 × 100 = 44.7368%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 44.7368% of 38 is 0.447368 × 38 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/38 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 38 = 44.7368%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/38*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.
