How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 60 ÷ 21 = 2.857143
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.857143 × 100 = 285.7143%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 285.7143% of 21 is 2.857143 × 21 = 60.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 60/21 = p/100, so p = 60 × 100 ÷ 21 = 285.7143%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =60/21*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
