How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 28 ÷ 86 = 0.325581
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.325581 × 100 = 32.5581%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 32.5581% of 86 is 0.325581 × 86 = 28.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/86 = p/100, so p = 28 × 100 ÷ 86 = 32.5581%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28/86*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.
