How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 97 ÷ 81 = 1.197531
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.197531 × 100 = 119.7531%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 119.7531% of 81 is 1.197531 × 81 = 97.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/81 = p/100, so p = 97 × 100 ÷ 81 = 119.7531%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97/81*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.
