How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 3 ÷ 23 = 0.130435
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.130435 × 100 = 13.0435%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.0435% of 23 is 0.130435 × 23 = 3.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/23 = p/100, so p = 3 × 100 ÷ 23 = 13.0435%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =3/23*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 23. The part that is left, 20, is the other 86.9565%.
