How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 23 ÷ 53 = 0.433962
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.433962 × 100 = 43.3962%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 43.3962% of 53 is 0.433962 × 53 = 23.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/53 = p/100, so p = 23 × 100 ÷ 53 = 43.3962%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23/53*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.
