How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 43 = 0.395349
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.395349 × 100 = 39.5349%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 39.5349% of 43 is 0.395349 × 43 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/43 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 43 = 39.5349%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/43*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.
