How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 31 ÷ 36 = 0.861111
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.861111 × 100 = 86.1111%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 86.1111% of 36 is 0.861111 × 36 = 31.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/36 = p/100, so p = 31 × 100 ÷ 36 = 86.1111%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31/36*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.
