How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 46 ÷ 47 = 0.978723
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.978723 × 100 = 97.8723%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 97.8723% of 47 is 0.978723 × 47 = 46.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/47 = p/100, so p = 46 × 100 ÷ 47 = 97.8723%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46/47*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.
