How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 33 = 0.515152
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.515152 × 100 = 51.5152%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 51.5152% of 33 is 0.515152 × 33 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/33 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 33 = 51.5152%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/33*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.
