How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 42 ÷ 33 = 1.272727
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.272727 × 100 = 127.2727%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 127.2727% of 33 is 1.272727 × 33 = 42.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/33 = p/100, so p = 42 × 100 ÷ 33 = 127.2727%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =42/33*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.
