How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 6 ÷ 27 = 0.222222
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.222222 × 100 = 22.2222%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.2222% of 27 is 0.222222 × 27 = 6.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/27 = p/100, so p = 6 × 100 ÷ 27 = 22.2222%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6/27*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

6 is between a tenth and a quarter of 27. The part that is left, 21, is the other 77.7778%.
