How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 38 ÷ 47 = 0.808511
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.808511 × 100 = 80.8511%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 80.8511% of 47 is 0.808511 × 47 = 38.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/47 = p/100, so p = 38 × 100 ÷ 47 = 80.8511%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38/47*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.
