How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 96 ÷ 97 = 0.989691
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.989691 × 100 = 98.9691%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 98.9691% of 97 is 0.989691 × 97 = 96.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/97 = p/100, so p = 96 × 100 ÷ 97 = 98.9691%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =96/97*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.
