How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 42 ÷ 37 = 1.135135
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.135135 × 100 = 113.5135%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 113.5135% of 37 is 1.135135 × 37 = 42.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/37 = p/100, so p = 42 × 100 ÷ 37 = 113.5135%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =42/37*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.
