How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 23 ÷ 89 = 0.258427
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.258427 × 100 = 25.8427%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.8427% of 89 is 0.258427 × 89 = 23.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/89 = p/100, so p = 23 × 100 ÷ 89 = 25.8427%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23/89*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.
