How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 2 ÷ 90 = 0.022222
- Multiply by 100: 0.022222 × 100 = 2.2222%
- Check: Work backwards: 2.2222% of 90 is 0.022222 × 90 = 2.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 2/90 = p/100, so p = 2 × 100 ÷ 90 = 2.2222%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =2/90*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.
