How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 5 ÷ 43 = 0.116279
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.116279 × 100 = 11.6279%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.6279% of 43 is 0.116279 × 43 = 5.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 5/43 = p/100, so p = 5 × 100 ÷ 43 = 11.6279%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =5/43*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.

What the result means
