How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 15 ÷ 53 = 0.283019
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.283019 × 100 = 28.3019%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28.3019% of 53 is 0.283019 × 53 = 15.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/53 = p/100, so p = 15 × 100 ÷ 53 = 28.3019%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15/53*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.
