How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 38 = 1.263158
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.263158 × 100 = 126.3158%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 126.3158% of 38 is 1.263158 × 38 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/38 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 38 = 126.3158%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/38*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.
