How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 26 ÷ 55 = 0.472727
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.472727 × 100 = 47.2727%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 47.2727% of 55 is 0.472727 × 55 = 26.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/55 = p/100, so p = 26 × 100 ÷ 55 = 47.2727%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26/55*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.
