How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 15 ÷ 51 = 0.294118
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.294118 × 100 = 29.4118%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.4118% of 51 is 0.294118 × 51 = 15.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/51 = p/100, so p = 15 × 100 ÷ 51 = 29.4118%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15/51*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
