How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 20 ÷ 99 = 0.20202
- Multiply by 100: 0.20202 × 100 = 20.202%
- Check: Work backwards: 20.202% of 99 is 0.20202 × 99 = 20.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/99 = p/100, so p = 20 × 100 ÷ 99 = 20.202%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =20/99*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.
