How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 47 ÷ 17 = 2.764706
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.764706 × 100 = 276.4706%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 276.4706% of 17 is 2.764706 × 17 = 47.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/17 = p/100, so p = 47 × 100 ÷ 17 = 276.4706%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47/17*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.
