How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 29 ÷ 55 = 0.527273
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.527273 × 100 = 52.7273%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 52.7273% of 55 is 0.527273 × 55 = 29.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/55 = p/100, so p = 29 × 100 ÷ 55 = 52.7273%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =29/55*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.
