How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 47 = 0.361702
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.361702 × 100 = 36.1702%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 36.1702% of 47 is 0.361702 × 47 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/47 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 47 = 36.1702%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/47*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.
