How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 3 ÷ 41 = 0.073171
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.073171 × 100 = 7.3171%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.3171% of 41 is 0.073171 × 41 = 3.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/41 = p/100, so p = 3 × 100 ÷ 41 = 7.3171%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =3/41*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.
