How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 16 ÷ 33 = 0.484848
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.484848 × 100 = 48.4848%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 48.4848% of 33 is 0.484848 × 33 = 16.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/33 = p/100, so p = 16 × 100 ÷ 33 = 48.4848%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16/33*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.
