How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 38 ÷ 60 = 0.633333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.633333 × 100 = 63.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 63.3333% of 60 is 0.633333 × 60 = 38.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/60 = p/100, so p = 38 × 100 ÷ 60 = 63.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38/60*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.

What the result means
