How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 23 ÷ 90 = 0.255556
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.255556 × 100 = 25.5556%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.5556% of 90 is 0.255556 × 90 = 23.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/90 = p/100, so p = 23 × 100 ÷ 90 = 25.5556%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23/90*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.
