How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 38 ÷ 82 = 0.463415
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.463415 × 100 = 46.3415%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 46.3415% of 82 is 0.463415 × 82 = 38.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/82 = p/100, so p = 38 × 100 ÷ 82 = 46.3415%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38/82*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.
