How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 27 ÷ 28 = 0.964286
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.964286 × 100 = 96.4286%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 96.4286% of 28 is 0.964286 × 28 = 27.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/28 = p/100, so p = 27 × 100 ÷ 28 = 96.4286%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27/28*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.
