How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 26 ÷ 87 = 0.298851
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.298851 × 100 = 29.8851%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.8851% of 87 is 0.298851 × 87 = 26.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/87 = p/100, so p = 26 × 100 ÷ 87 = 29.8851%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26/87*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.
