How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 85 ÷ 95 = 0.894737
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.894737 × 100 = 89.4737%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 89.4737% of 95 is 0.894737 × 95 = 85.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 85/95 = p/100, so p = 85 × 100 ÷ 95 = 89.4737%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =85/95*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.
