How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 2 ÷ 98 = 0.020408
- Multiply by 100: 0.020408 × 100 = 2.0408%
- Check: Work backwards: 2.0408% of 98 is 0.020408 × 98 = 2.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 2/98 = p/100, so p = 2 × 100 ÷ 98 = 2.0408%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =2/98*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.
