How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 2 ÷ 45 = 0.044444
- Multiply by 100: 0.044444 × 100 = 4.4444%
- Check: Work backwards: 4.4444% of 45 is 0.044444 × 45 = 2.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 2/45 = p/100, so p = 2 × 100 ÷ 45 = 4.4444%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =2/45*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.
