How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 28 ÷ 23 = 1.217391
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.217391 × 100 = 121.7391%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 121.7391% of 23 is 1.217391 × 23 = 28.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/23 = p/100, so p = 28 × 100 ÷ 23 = 121.7391%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28/23*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.
