How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 38 ÷ 89 = 0.426966
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.426966 × 100 = 42.6966%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.6966% of 89 is 0.426966 × 89 = 38.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/89 = p/100, so p = 38 × 100 ÷ 89 = 42.6966%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38/89*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.
