How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 89 ÷ 17 = 5.235294
  2. Multiply by 100: 5.235294 × 100 = 523.5294%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 523.5294% of 17 is 5.235294 × 17 = 89.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 89/17 = p/100, so p = 89 × 100 ÷ 17 = 523.5294%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =89/17*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.
