How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 82 ÷ 36 = 2.277778
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.277778 × 100 = 227.7778%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 227.7778% of 36 is 2.277778 × 36 = 82.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/36 = p/100, so p = 82 × 100 ÷ 36 = 227.7778%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82/36*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.
