How to work it out

- Multiply by 100: 0.148148 × 100 = 14.8148%

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/27 = p/100, so p = 4 × 100 ÷ 27 = 14.8148%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =4/27*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.
