How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 3 ÷ 37 = 0.081081
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.081081 × 100 = 8.1081%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.1081% of 37 is 0.081081 × 37 = 3.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/37 = p/100, so p = 3 × 100 ÷ 37 = 8.1081%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =3/37*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.
