How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 8 ÷ 34 = 0.235294
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.235294 × 100 = 23.5294%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.5294% of 34 is 0.235294 × 34 = 8.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/34 = p/100, so p = 8 × 100 ÷ 34 = 23.5294%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8/34*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.
