How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 8 ÷ 38 = 0.210526
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.210526 × 100 = 21.0526%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.0526% of 38 is 0.210526 × 38 = 8.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/38 = p/100, so p = 8 × 100 ÷ 38 = 21.0526%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8/38*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.
