How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 2 ÷ 64 = 0.03125
- Multiply by 100: 0.03125 × 100 = 3.125%
- Check: Work backwards: 3.125% of 64 is 0.03125 × 64 = 2.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 2/64 = p/100, so p = 2 × 100 ÷ 64 = 3.125%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =2/64*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.
