How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 5 ÷ 36 = 0.138889
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.138889 × 100 = 13.8889%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.8889% of 36 is 0.138889 × 36 = 5.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 5/36 = p/100, so p = 5 × 100 ÷ 36 = 13.8889%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =5/36*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.
