How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 22 ÷ 87 = 0.252874
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.252874 × 100 = 25.2874%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.2874% of 87 is 0.252874 × 87 = 22.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/87 = p/100, so p = 22 × 100 ÷ 87 = 25.2874%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =22/87*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.
