How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 28 ÷ 90 = 0.311111
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.311111 × 100 = 31.1111%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.1111% of 90 is 0.311111 × 90 = 28.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/90 = p/100, so p = 28 × 100 ÷ 90 = 31.1111%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28/90*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.
