How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 38 ÷ 71 = 0.535211
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.535211 × 100 = 53.5211%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 53.5211% of 71 is 0.535211 × 71 = 38.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/71 = p/100, so p = 38 × 100 ÷ 71 = 53.5211%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38/71*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.
