How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 99 ÷ 85 = 1.164706
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.164706 × 100 = 116.4706%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 116.4706% of 85 is 1.164706 × 85 = 99.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/85 = p/100, so p = 99 × 100 ÷ 85 = 116.4706%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99/85*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.
