How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 23 ÷ 55 = 0.418182
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.418182 × 100 = 41.8182%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 41.8182% of 55 is 0.418182 × 55 = 23.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/55 = p/100, so p = 23 × 100 ÷ 55 = 41.8182%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23/55*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.
