How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 32 ÷ 81 = 0.395062
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.395062 × 100 = 39.5062%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 39.5062% of 81 is 0.395062 × 81 = 32.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 32/81 = p/100, so p = 32 × 100 ÷ 81 = 39.5062%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =32/81*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.
