How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 23 ÷ 26 = 0.884615
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.884615 × 100 = 88.4615%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 88.4615% of 26 is 0.884615 × 26 = 23.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/26 = p/100, so p = 23 × 100 ÷ 26 = 88.4615%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23/26*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.
