How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 61 ÷ 38 = 1.605263
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.605263 × 100 = 160.5263%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 160.5263% of 38 is 1.605263 × 38 = 61.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/38 = p/100, so p = 61 × 100 ÷ 38 = 160.5263%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =61/38*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.
