How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 39 ÷ 83 = 0.46988
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.46988 × 100 = 46.988%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 46.988% of 83 is 0.46988 × 83 = 39.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 39/83 = p/100, so p = 39 × 100 ÷ 83 = 46.988%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =39/83*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.
