How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 38 ÷ 27 = 1.407407
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.407407 × 100 = 140.7407%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 140.7407% of 27 is 1.407407 × 27 = 38.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/27 = p/100, so p = 38 × 100 ÷ 27 = 140.7407%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38/27*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.

What the result means
