How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 62 ÷ 36 = 1.722222
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.722222 × 100 = 172.2222%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 172.2222% of 36 is 1.722222 × 36 = 62.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/36 = p/100, so p = 62 × 100 ÷ 36 = 172.2222%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62/36*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.
