How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 24 ÷ 50 = 0.48

- Check: Work backwards: 48% of 50 is 0.48 × 50 = 24.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/50 = p/100, so p = 24 × 100 ÷ 50 = 48%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =24/50*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.
