How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 60 = 0.283333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.283333 × 100 = 28.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28.3333% of 60 is 0.283333 × 60 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/60 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 60 = 28.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/60*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.
