How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 27 ÷ 59 = 0.457627
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.457627 × 100 = 45.7627%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 45.7627% of 59 is 0.457627 × 59 = 27.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/59 = p/100, so p = 27 × 100 ÷ 59 = 45.7627%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27/59*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.
