How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 20 ÷ 88 = 0.227273
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.227273 × 100 = 22.7273%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.7273% of 88 is 0.227273 × 88 = 20.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/88 = p/100, so p = 20 × 100 ÷ 88 = 22.7273%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =20/88*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.
