How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 8 ÷ 31 = 0.258065
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.258065 × 100 = 25.8065%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.8065% of 31 is 0.258065 × 31 = 8.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/31 = p/100, so p = 8 × 100 ÷ 31 = 25.8065%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8/31*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
