How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 22 ÷ 56 = 0.392857
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.392857 × 100 = 39.2857%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 39.2857% of 56 is 0.392857 × 56 = 22.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/56 = p/100, so p = 22 × 100 ÷ 56 = 39.2857%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =22/56*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.
