How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 6 ÷ 34 = 0.176471
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.176471 × 100 = 17.6471%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.6471% of 34 is 0.176471 × 34 = 6.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/34 = p/100, so p = 6 × 100 ÷ 34 = 17.6471%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6/34*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.
