How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 87 ÷ 81 = 1.074074
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.074074 × 100 = 107.4074%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 107.4074% of 81 is 1.074074 × 81 = 87.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/81 = p/100, so p = 87 × 100 ÷ 81 = 107.4074%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =87/81*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.

What the result means
