How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 1 ÷ 54 = 0.018519
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.018519 × 100 = 1.8519%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.8519% of 54 is 0.018519 × 54 = 1.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/54 = p/100, so p = 1 × 100 ÷ 54 = 1.8519%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1/54*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.

What the result means

1 is less than a tenth of 54. The part that is left, 53, is the other 98.1481%.
