How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 8 ÷ 23 = 0.347826
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.347826 × 100 = 34.7826%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.7826% of 23 is 0.347826 × 23 = 8.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/23 = p/100, so p = 8 × 100 ÷ 23 = 34.7826%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8/23*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.
