How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 10 ÷ 55 = 0.181818
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.181818 × 100 = 18.1818%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.1818% of 55 is 0.181818 × 55 = 10.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/55 = p/100, so p = 10 × 100 ÷ 55 = 18.1818%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =10/55*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

10 is between a tenth and a quarter of 55. The part that is left, 45, is the other 81.8182%.
