How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 26 ÷ 30 = 0.866667
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.866667 × 100 = 86.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 86.6667% of 30 is 0.866667 × 30 = 26.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/30 = p/100, so p = 26 × 100 ÷ 30 = 86.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26/30*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.
