How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 2 ÷ 37 = 0.054054
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.054054 × 100 = 5.4054%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.4054% of 37 is 0.054054 × 37 = 2.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 2/37 = p/100, so p = 2 × 100 ÷ 37 = 5.4054%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =2/37*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.

What the result means

2 is less than a tenth of 37. The part that is left, 35, is the other 94.5946%.

Test scores: 2 correct answers out of 37 is a score of 5.4054%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around
