How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 98 ÷ 85 = 1.152941
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.152941 × 100 = 115.2941%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 115.2941% of 85 is 1.152941 × 85 = 98.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/85 = p/100, so p = 98 × 100 ÷ 85 = 115.2941%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98/85*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.
