How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 20 ÷ 84 = 0.238095
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.238095 × 100 = 23.8095%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.8095% of 84 is 0.238095 × 84 = 20.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/84 = p/100, so p = 20 × 100 ÷ 84 = 23.8095%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =20/84*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.

What the result means
