How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 82 ÷ 46 = 1.782609
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.782609 × 100 = 178.2609%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 178.2609% of 46 is 1.782609 × 46 = 82.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/46 = p/100, so p = 82 × 100 ÷ 46 = 178.2609%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82/46*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.
