How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 47 ÷ 36 = 1.305556
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.305556 × 100 = 130.5556%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 130.5556% of 36 is 1.305556 × 36 = 47.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/36 = p/100, so p = 47 × 100 ÷ 36 = 130.5556%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47/36*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.
