How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 4 ÷ 84 = 0.047619
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.047619 × 100 = 4.7619%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.7619% of 84 is 0.047619 × 84 = 4.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/84 = p/100, so p = 4 × 100 ÷ 84 = 4.7619%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4/84*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 less than a tenth of 84. The part that is left, 80, is the other 95.2381%.

Test scores: 4 correct answers out of 84 is a score of 4.7619%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around
