How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 54 = 0.314815
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.314815 × 100 = 31.4815%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.4815% of 54 is 0.314815 × 54 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/54 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 54 = 31.4815%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/54*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.
