How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 98 ÷ 39 = 2.512821
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.512821 × 100 = 251.2821%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 251.2821% of 39 is 2.512821 × 39 = 98.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/39 = p/100, so p = 98 × 100 ÷ 39 = 251.2821%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98/39*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.
