How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 42 ÷ 19 = 2.210526
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.210526 × 100 = 221.0526%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 221.0526% of 19 is 2.210526 × 19 = 42.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/19 = p/100, so p = 42 × 100 ÷ 19 = 221.0526%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =42/19*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.
