How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 24 ÷ 21 = 1.142857
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.142857 × 100 = 114.2857%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 114.2857% of 21 is 1.142857 × 21 = 24.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/21 = p/100, so p = 24 × 100 ÷ 21 = 114.2857%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24/21*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.

What the result means
