How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 4 ÷ 46 = 0.086957
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.086957 × 100 = 8.6957%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.6957% of 46 is 0.086957 × 46 = 4.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/46 = p/100, so p = 4 × 100 ÷ 46 = 8.6957%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4/46*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.
