How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 84 ÷ 47 = 1.787234
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.787234 × 100 = 178.7234%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 178.7234% of 47 is 1.787234 × 47 = 84.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/47 = p/100, so p = 84 × 100 ÷ 47 = 178.7234%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84/47*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.
