How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 82 ÷ 42 = 1.952381
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.952381 × 100 = 195.2381%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 195.2381% of 42 is 1.952381 × 42 = 82.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/42 = p/100, so p = 82 × 100 ÷ 42 = 195.2381%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82/42*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.
