How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 81 ÷ 42 = 1.928571
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.928571 × 100 = 192.8571%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 192.8571% of 42 is 1.928571 × 42 = 81.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 81/42 = p/100, so p = 81 × 100 ÷ 42 = 192.8571%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =81/42*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.
