How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 18 ÷ 89 = 0.202247
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.202247 × 100 = 20.2247%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.2247% of 89 is 0.202247 × 89 = 18.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/89 = p/100, so p = 18 × 100 ÷ 89 = 20.2247%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18/89*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.
