How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 37 ÷ 21 = 1.761905
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.761905 × 100 = 176.1905%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 176.1905% of 21 is 1.761905 × 21 = 37.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/21 = p/100, so p = 37 × 100 ÷ 21 = 176.1905%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37/21*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.
