How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 28 ÷ 17 = 1.647059
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.647059 × 100 = 164.7059%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 164.7059% of 17 is 1.647059 × 17 = 28.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/17 = p/100, so p = 28 × 100 ÷ 17 = 164.7059%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28/17*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.
