How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 38 ÷ 7 = 5.428571
  2. Multiply by 100: 5.428571 × 100 = 542.8571%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 542.8571% of 7 is 5.428571 × 7 = 38.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/7 = p/100, so p = 38 × 100 ÷ 7 = 542.8571%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38/7*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.
