How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 8 ÷ 47 = 0.170213
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.170213 × 100 = 17.0213%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.0213% of 47 is 0.170213 × 47 = 8.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/47 = p/100, so p = 8 × 100 ÷ 47 = 17.0213%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8/47*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.
