How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 57 ÷ 21 = 2.714286
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.714286 × 100 = 271.4286%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 271.4286% of 21 is 2.714286 × 21 = 57.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/21 = p/100, so p = 57 × 100 ÷ 21 = 271.4286%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57/21*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.
