How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 98 ÷ 38 = 2.578947
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.578947 × 100 = 257.8947%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 257.8947% of 38 is 2.578947 × 38 = 98.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/38 = p/100, so p = 98 × 100 ÷ 38 = 257.8947%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98/38*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.
