How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 37 ÷ 23 = 1.608696
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.608696 × 100 = 160.8696%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 160.8696% of 23 is 1.608696 × 23 = 37.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/23 = p/100, so p = 37 × 100 ÷ 23 = 160.8696%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37/23*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.
