How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 84 ÷ 16 = 5.25
- Multiply by 100: 5.25 × 100 = 525%
- Check: Work backwards: 525% of 16 is 5.25 × 16 = 84.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/16 = p/100, so p = 84 × 100 ÷ 16 = 525%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =84/16*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.
What the result means
