How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 16 ÷ 58 = 0.275862
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.275862 × 100 = 27.5862%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27.5862% of 58 is 0.275862 × 58 = 16.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/58 = p/100, so p = 16 × 100 ÷ 58 = 27.5862%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16/58*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.
