How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 83 ÷ 87 = 0.954023
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.954023 × 100 = 95.4023%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 95.4023% of 87 is 0.954023 × 87 = 83.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/87 = p/100, so p = 83 × 100 ÷ 87 = 95.4023%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =83/87*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.
