How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 47 ÷ 28 = 1.678571
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.678571 × 100 = 167.8571%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 167.8571% of 28 is 1.678571 × 28 = 47.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/28 = p/100, so p = 47 × 100 ÷ 28 = 167.8571%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47/28*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.
