How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 29 ÷ 87 = 0.333333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.333333 × 100 = 33.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 33.3333% of 87 is 0.333333 × 87 = 29.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/87 = p/100, so p = 29 × 100 ÷ 87 = 33.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =29/87*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.
