How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 39 ÷ 97 = 0.402062
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.402062 × 100 = 40.2062%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 40.2062% of 97 is 0.402062 × 97 = 39.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 39/97 = p/100, so p = 39 × 100 ÷ 97 = 40.2062%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =39/97*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.
