How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 52 ÷ 38 = 1.368421
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.368421 × 100 = 136.8421%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 136.8421% of 38 is 1.368421 × 38 = 52.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/38 = p/100, so p = 52 × 100 ÷ 38 = 136.8421%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52/38*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.
