How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 49 = 0.346939
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.346939 × 100 = 34.6939%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.6939% of 49 is 0.346939 × 49 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/49 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 49 = 34.6939%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/49*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.
