How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 38 ÷ 51 = 0.745098
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.745098 × 100 = 74.5098%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 74.5098% of 51 is 0.745098 × 51 = 38.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/51 = p/100, so p = 38 × 100 ÷ 51 = 74.5098%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38/51*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.
