How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 83 ÷ 97 = 0.85567
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.85567 × 100 = 85.567%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 85.567% of 97 is 0.85567 × 97 = 83.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/97 = p/100, so p = 83 × 100 ÷ 97 = 85.567%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =83/97*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.
