How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 85 ÷ 27 = 3.148148
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.148148 × 100 = 314.8148%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 314.8148% of 27 is 3.148148 × 27 = 85.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 85/27 = p/100, so p = 85 × 100 ÷ 27 = 314.8148%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =85/27*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.
