How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 37 ÷ 87 = 0.425287
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.425287 × 100 = 42.5287%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.5287% of 87 is 0.425287 × 87 = 37.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/87 = p/100, so p = 37 × 100 ÷ 87 = 42.5287%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37/87*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.
