How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 400 ÷ 255 = 1.568627
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.568627 × 100 = 156.8627%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 156.8627% of 255 is 1.568627 × 255 = 400.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 400/255 = p/100, so p = 400 × 100 ÷ 255 = 156.8627%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =400/255*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.
