How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 38 ÷ 56 = 0.678571
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.678571 × 100 = 67.8571%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 67.8571% of 56 is 0.678571 × 56 = 38.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/56 = p/100, so p = 38 × 100 ÷ 56 = 67.8571%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38/56*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.
