How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 5 ÷ 97 = 0.051546
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.051546 × 100 = 5.1546%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.1546% of 97 is 0.051546 × 97 = 5.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 5/97 = p/100, so p = 5 × 100 ÷ 97 = 5.1546%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =5/97*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

5 is less than a tenth of 97. The part that is left, 92, is the other 94.8454%.
