How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 36 ÷ 23 = 1.565217
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.565217 × 100 = 156.5217%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 156.5217% of 23 is 1.565217 × 23 = 36.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/23 = p/100, so p = 36 × 100 ÷ 23 = 156.5217%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36/23*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.
