How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 39 ÷ 87 = 0.448276
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.448276 × 100 = 44.8276%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 44.8276% of 87 is 0.448276 × 87 = 39.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 39/87 = p/100, so p = 39 × 100 ÷ 87 = 44.8276%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =39/87*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.
