How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 43 ÷ 16 = 2.6875
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.6875 × 100 = 268.75%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 268.75% of 16 is 2.6875 × 16 = 43.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/16 = p/100, so p = 43 × 100 ÷ 16 = 268.75%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43/16*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.

What the result means
