How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 26 ÷ 48 = 0.541667
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.541667 × 100 = 54.1667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 54.1667% of 48 is 0.541667 × 48 = 26.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/48 = p/100, so p = 26 × 100 ÷ 48 = 54.1667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26/48*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.
