How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 81 ÷ 87 = 0.931034
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.931034 × 100 = 93.1034%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 93.1034% of 87 is 0.931034 × 87 = 81.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 81/87 = p/100, so p = 81 × 100 ÷ 87 = 93.1034%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =81/87*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.
