How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 87 ÷ 2 = 43.5
  2. Multiply by 100: 43.5 × 100 = 4,350%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4,350% of 2 is 43.5 × 2 = 87.

In a spreadsheet: =87/2*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.
