How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 16 ÷ 29 = 0.551724
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.551724 × 100 = 55.1724%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 55.1724% of 29 is 0.551724 × 29 = 16.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/29 = p/100, so p = 16 × 100 ÷ 29 = 55.1724%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16/29*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.
