How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 31 ÷ 97 = 0.319588
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.319588 × 100 = 31.9588%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.9588% of 97 is 0.319588 × 97 = 31.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/97 = p/100, so p = 31 × 100 ÷ 97 = 31.9588%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31/97*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.
