How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 23 ÷ 82 = 0.280488
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.280488 × 100 = 28.0488%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28.0488% of 82 is 0.280488 × 82 = 23.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/82 = p/100, so p = 23 × 100 ÷ 82 = 28.0488%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23/82*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.
