How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 38 ÷ 36 = 1.055556
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.055556 × 100 = 105.5556%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 105.5556% of 36 is 1.055556 × 36 = 38.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/36 = p/100, so p = 38 × 100 ÷ 36 = 105.5556%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38/36*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.
