How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 3 ÷ 14 = 0.214286
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.214286 × 100 = 21.4286%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.4286% of 14 is 0.214286 × 14 = 3.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/14 = p/100, so p = 3 × 100 ÷ 14 = 21.4286%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =3/14*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.

What the result means

3 is between a tenth and a quarter of 14. The part that is left, 11, is the other 78.5714%.
