How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 23 ÷ 39 = 0.589744
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.589744 × 100 = 58.9744%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 58.9744% of 39 is 0.589744 × 39 = 23.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/39 = p/100, so p = 23 × 100 ÷ 39 = 58.9744%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23/39*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.
