How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 31 ÷ 28 = 1.107143
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.107143 × 100 = 110.7143%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 110.7143% of 28 is 1.107143 × 28 = 31.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/28 = p/100, so p = 31 × 100 ÷ 28 = 110.7143%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31/28*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
