How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 26 ÷ 38 = 0.684211
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.684211 × 100 = 68.4211%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 68.4211% of 38 is 0.684211 × 38 = 26.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/38 = p/100, so p = 26 × 100 ÷ 38 = 68.4211%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26/38*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.
