How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 23 ÷ 87 = 0.264368
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.264368 × 100 = 26.4368%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.4368% of 87 is 0.264368 × 87 = 23.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/87 = p/100, so p = 23 × 100 ÷ 87 = 26.4368%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23/87*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.
