How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 2 ÷ 57 = 0.035088
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.035088 × 100 = 3.5088%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.5088% of 57 is 0.035088 × 57 = 2.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 2/57 = p/100, so p = 2 × 100 ÷ 57 = 3.5088%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =2/57*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.

What the result means

2 is less than a tenth of 57. The part that is left, 55, is the other 96.4912%.

Test scores: 2 correct answers out of 57 is a score of 3.5088%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around
