How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 26 ÷ 85 = 0.305882
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.305882 × 100 = 30.5882%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 30.5882% of 85 is 0.305882 × 85 = 26.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/85 = p/100, so p = 26 × 100 ÷ 85 = 30.5882%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26/85*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.
