How to work it out

- Multiply by 100: 0.020202 × 100 = 2.0202%
- Check: Work backwards: 2.0202% of 99 is 0.020202 × 99 = 2.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 2/99 = p/100, so p = 2 × 100 ÷ 99 = 2.0202%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =2/99*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.
