How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 42 ÷ 52 = 0.807692
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.807692 × 100 = 80.7692%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 80.7692% of 52 is 0.807692 × 52 = 42.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/52 = p/100, so p = 42 × 100 ÷ 52 = 80.7692%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =42/52*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.
