How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 87 ÷ 62 = 1.403226
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.403226 × 100 = 140.3226%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 140.3226% of 62 is 1.403226 × 62 = 87.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/62 = p/100, so p = 87 × 100 ÷ 62 = 140.3226%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =87/62*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.
