How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 88 ÷ 87 = 1.011494
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.011494 × 100 = 101.1494%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 101.1494% of 87 is 1.011494 × 87 = 88.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/87 = p/100, so p = 88 × 100 ÷ 87 = 101.1494%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88/87*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.
