How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 98 ÷ 61 = 1.606557
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.606557 × 100 = 160.6557%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 160.6557% of 61 is 1.606557 × 61 = 98.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/61 = p/100, so p = 98 × 100 ÷ 61 = 160.6557%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98/61*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.
