How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 46 ÷ 27 = 1.703704
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.703704 × 100 = 170.3704%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 170.3704% of 27 is 1.703704 × 27 = 46.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/27 = p/100, so p = 46 × 100 ÷ 27 = 170.3704%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46/27*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.
