How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 87 ÷ 35 = 2.485714
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.485714 × 100 = 248.5714%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 248.5714% of 35 is 2.485714 × 35 = 87.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/35 = p/100, so p = 87 × 100 ÷ 35 = 248.5714%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =87/35*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.
