How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 48 = 0.354167
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.354167 × 100 = 35.4167%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 35.4167% of 48 is 0.354167 × 48 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/48 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 48 = 35.4167%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/48*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.
