How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 3 ÷ 33 = 0.090909
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.090909 × 100 = 9.0909%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.0909% of 33 is 0.090909 × 33 = 3.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/33 = p/100, so p = 3 × 100 ÷ 33 = 9.0909%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =3/33*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 less than a tenth of 33. The part that is left, 30, is the other 90.9091%.

Test scores: 3 correct answers out of 33 is a score of 9.0909%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 3 is 9.0909% of a number, you can get that number back: 3 ÷ 0.090909 = 33. And 33 as a percentage of 3 is 1,100%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
