How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 25 ÷ 59 = 0.423729
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.423729 × 100 = 42.3729%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.3729% of 59 is 0.423729 × 59 = 25.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/59 = p/100, so p = 25 × 100 ÷ 59 = 42.3729%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =25/59*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.
