How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 83 ÷ 28 = 2.964286
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.964286 × 100 = 296.4286%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 296.4286% of 28 is 2.964286 × 28 = 83.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/28 = p/100, so p = 83 × 100 ÷ 28 = 296.4286%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =83/28*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.
