How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 7 ÷ 87 = 0.08046
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.08046 × 100 = 8.046%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.046% of 87 is 0.08046 × 87 = 7.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/87 = p/100, so p = 7 × 100 ÷ 87 = 8.046%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7/87*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.
