How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 8 ÷ 85 = 0.094118
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.094118 × 100 = 9.4118%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.4118% of 85 is 0.094118 × 85 = 8.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/85 = p/100, so p = 8 × 100 ÷ 85 = 9.4118%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8/85*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.
