How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 38 ÷ 39 = 0.974359
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.974359 × 100 = 97.4359%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 97.4359% of 39 is 0.974359 × 39 = 38.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/39 = p/100, so p = 38 × 100 ÷ 39 = 97.4359%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38/39*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.
