How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 98 ÷ 88 = 1.113636
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.113636 × 100 = 111.3636%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 111.3636% of 88 is 1.113636 × 88 = 98.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/88 = p/100, so p = 98 × 100 ÷ 88 = 111.3636%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98/88*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.
