How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 5 ÷ 83 = 0.060241
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.060241 × 100 = 6.0241%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.0241% of 83 is 0.060241 × 83 = 5.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 5/83 = p/100, so p = 5 × 100 ÷ 83 = 6.0241%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =5/83*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.
