How to work it out

- Multiply by 100: 0.064516 × 100 = 6.4516%
- Check: Work backwards: 6.4516% of 31 is 0.064516 × 31 = 2.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 2/31 = p/100, so p = 2 × 100 ÷ 31 = 6.4516%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =2/31*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.
