How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 6 ÷ 31 = 0.193548
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.193548 × 100 = 19.3548%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 19.3548% of 31 is 0.193548 × 31 = 6.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/31 = p/100, so p = 6 × 100 ÷ 31 = 19.3548%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6/31*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 31. The part that is left, 25, is the other 80.6452%.
