How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 39 ÷ 28 = 1.392857
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.392857 × 100 = 139.2857%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 139.2857% of 28 is 1.392857 × 28 = 39.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 39/28 = p/100, so p = 39 × 100 ÷ 28 = 139.2857%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =39/28*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.
