How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 47 ÷ 98 = 0.479592
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.479592 × 100 = 47.9592%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 47.9592% of 98 is 0.479592 × 98 = 47.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/98 = p/100, so p = 47 × 100 ÷ 98 = 47.9592%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47/98*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.
