How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 22 ÷ 81 = 0.271605
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.271605 × 100 = 27.1605%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27.1605% of 81 is 0.271605 × 81 = 22.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/81 = p/100, so p = 22 × 100 ÷ 81 = 27.1605%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =22/81*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.
