How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 15 ÷ 61 = 0.245902
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.245902 × 100 = 24.5902%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.5902% of 61 is 0.245902 × 61 = 15.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/61 = p/100, so p = 15 × 100 ÷ 61 = 24.5902%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15/61*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.
