How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 28 ÷ 48 = 0.583333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.583333 × 100 = 58.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 58.3333% of 48 is 0.583333 × 48 = 28.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/48 = p/100, so p = 28 × 100 ÷ 48 = 58.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28/48*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.
