How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 36 ÷ 38 = 0.947368
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.947368 × 100 = 94.7368%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 94.7368% of 38 is 0.947368 × 38 = 36.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/38 = p/100, so p = 36 × 100 ÷ 38 = 94.7368%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36/38*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.
