How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 4 ÷ 31 = 0.129032
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.129032 × 100 = 12.9032%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.9032% of 31 is 0.129032 × 31 = 4.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/31 = p/100, so p = 4 × 100 ÷ 31 = 12.9032%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4/31*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.

What the result means

4 is between a tenth and a quarter of 31. The part that is left, 27, is the other 87.0968%.

Test scores: 4 correct answers out of 31 is a score of 12.9032%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 4 is 12.9032% of a number, you can get that number back: 4 ÷ 0.129032 = 31. And 31 as a percentage of 4 is 775%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
