How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 42 ÷ 46 = 0.913043
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.913043 × 100 = 91.3043%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 91.3043% of 46 is 0.913043 × 46 = 42.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/46 = p/100, so p = 42 × 100 ÷ 46 = 91.3043%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =42/46*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.
