How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 42 ÷ 95 = 0.442105
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.442105 × 100 = 44.2105%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 44.2105% of 95 is 0.442105 × 95 = 42.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/95 = p/100, so p = 42 × 100 ÷ 95 = 44.2105%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =42/95*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.
