How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 300 ÷ 185 = 1.621622
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.621622 × 100 = 162.1622%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 162.1622% of 185 is 1.621622 × 185 = 300.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 300/185 = p/100, so p = 300 × 100 ÷ 185 = 162.1622%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =300/185*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.
