How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 23 ÷ 83 = 0.277108
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.277108 × 100 = 27.7108%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27.7108% of 83 is 0.277108 × 83 = 23.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/83 = p/100, so p = 23 × 100 ÷ 83 = 27.7108%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23/83*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.
