How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 28 ÷ 85 = 0.329412
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.329412 × 100 = 32.9412%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 32.9412% of 85 is 0.329412 × 85 = 28.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/85 = p/100, so p = 28 × 100 ÷ 85 = 32.9412%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28/85*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.
