How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 88 ÷ 34 = 2.588235
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.588235 × 100 = 258.8235%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 258.8235% of 34 is 2.588235 × 34 = 88.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/34 = p/100, so p = 88 × 100 ÷ 34 = 258.8235%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88/34*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.
