How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 2 ÷ 55 = 0.036364
- Multiply by 100: 0.036364 × 100 = 3.6364%
- Check: Work backwards: 3.6364% of 55 is 0.036364 × 55 = 2.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 2/55 = p/100, so p = 2 × 100 ÷ 55 = 3.6364%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =2/55*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.
