How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 26 ÷ 32 = 0.8125
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.8125 × 100 = 81.25%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 81.25% of 32 is 0.8125 × 32 = 26.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/32 = p/100, so p = 26 × 100 ÷ 32 = 81.25%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26/32*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.
