How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 65 = 0.261538
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.261538 × 100 = 26.1538%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.1538% of 65 is 0.261538 × 65 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/65 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 65 = 26.1538%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/65*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.
