How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 95 ÷ 97 = 0.979381
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.979381 × 100 = 97.9381%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 97.9381% of 97 is 0.979381 × 97 = 95.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/97 = p/100, so p = 95 × 100 ÷ 97 = 97.9381%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =95/97*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.
