How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 15 ÷ 52 = 0.288462
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.288462 × 100 = 28.8462%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28.8462% of 52 is 0.288462 × 52 = 15.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/52 = p/100, so p = 15 × 100 ÷ 52 = 28.8462%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15/52*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.
