How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 8 ÷ 89 = 0.089888
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.089888 × 100 = 8.9888%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.9888% of 89 is 0.089888 × 89 = 8.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/89 = p/100, so p = 8 × 100 ÷ 89 = 8.9888%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8/89*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.

What the result means

8 is less than a tenth of 89. The part that is left, 81, is the other 91.0112%.

Test scores: 8 correct answers out of 89 is a score of 8.9888%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around
