How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 3 ÷ 61 = 0.04918
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.04918 × 100 = 4.918%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.918% of 61 is 0.04918 × 61 = 3.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/61 = p/100, so p = 3 × 100 ÷ 61 = 4.918%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =3/61*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 61. The part that is left, 58, is the other 95.082%.

Test scores: 3 correct answers out of 61 is a score of 4.918%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around
