How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 47 ÷ 31 = 1.516129
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.516129 × 100 = 151.6129%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 151.6129% of 31 is 1.516129 × 31 = 47.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/31 = p/100, so p = 47 × 100 ÷ 31 = 151.6129%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47/31*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.
