How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 6 ÷ 28 = 0.214286
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.214286 × 100 = 21.4286%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.4286% of 28 is 0.214286 × 28 = 6.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/28 = p/100, so p = 6 × 100 ÷ 28 = 21.4286%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6/28*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.
