How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 38 ÷ 88 = 0.431818
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.431818 × 100 = 43.1818%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 43.1818% of 88 is 0.431818 × 88 = 38.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/88 = p/100, so p = 38 × 100 ÷ 88 = 43.1818%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38/88*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.
