How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 12 ÷ 22 = 0.545455
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.545455 × 100 = 54.5455%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 54.5455% of 22 is 0.545455 × 22 = 12.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/22 = p/100, so p = 12 × 100 ÷ 22 = 54.5455%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =12/22*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.
