How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 24 ÷ 86 = 0.27907
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.27907 × 100 = 27.907%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27.907% of 86 is 0.27907 × 86 = 24.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/86 = p/100, so p = 24 × 100 ÷ 86 = 27.907%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24/86*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.
