How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 28 ÷ 58 = 0.482759
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.482759 × 100 = 48.2759%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 48.2759% of 58 is 0.482759 × 58 = 28.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/58 = p/100, so p = 28 × 100 ÷ 58 = 48.2759%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28/58*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.
