How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 16 ÷ 51 = 0.313725
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.313725 × 100 = 31.3725%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.3725% of 51 is 0.313725 × 51 = 16.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/51 = p/100, so p = 16 × 100 ÷ 51 = 31.3725%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16/51*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.

What the result means
