How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 89 ÷ 99 = 0.89899
- Multiply by 100: 0.89899 × 100 = 89.899%
- Check: Work backwards: 89.899% of 99 is 0.89899 × 99 = 89.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 89/99 = p/100, so p = 89 × 100 ÷ 99 = 89.899%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =89/99*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.
