How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 6 ÷ 38 = 0.157895
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.157895 × 100 = 15.7895%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.7895% of 38 is 0.157895 × 38 = 6.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/38 = p/100, so p = 6 × 100 ÷ 38 = 15.7895%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6/38*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.
