How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 15 ÷ 57 = 0.263158
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.263158 × 100 = 26.3158%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.3158% of 57 is 0.263158 × 57 = 15.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/57 = p/100, so p = 15 × 100 ÷ 57 = 26.3158%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15/57*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.
