How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 31 ÷ 17 = 1.823529
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.823529 × 100 = 182.3529%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 182.3529% of 17 is 1.823529 × 17 = 31.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/17 = p/100, so p = 31 × 100 ÷ 17 = 182.3529%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31/17*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
