How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 47 ÷ 27 = 1.740741
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.740741 × 100 = 174.0741%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 174.0741% of 27 is 1.740741 × 27 = 47.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/27 = p/100, so p = 47 × 100 ÷ 27 = 174.0741%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47/27*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.
