How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 85 ÷ 35 = 2.428571
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.428571 × 100 = 242.8571%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 242.8571% of 35 is 2.428571 × 35 = 85.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 85/35 = p/100, so p = 85 × 100 ÷ 35 = 242.8571%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =85/35*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.
