How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 8 ÷ 68 = 0.117647
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.117647 × 100 = 11.7647%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.7647% of 68 is 0.117647 × 68 = 8.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/68 = p/100, so p = 8 × 100 ÷ 68 = 11.7647%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8/68*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.
