How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 28 ÷ 81 = 0.345679
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.345679 × 100 = 34.5679%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.5679% of 81 is 0.345679 × 81 = 28.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/81 = p/100, so p = 28 × 100 ÷ 81 = 34.5679%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28/81*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.
