How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 86 ÷ 97 = 0.886598
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.886598 × 100 = 88.6598%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 88.6598% of 97 is 0.886598 × 97 = 86.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 86/97 = p/100, so p = 86 × 100 ÷ 97 = 88.6598%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =86/97*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.
