How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 30 ÷ 56 = 0.535714
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.535714 × 100 = 53.5714%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 53.5714% of 56 is 0.535714 × 56 = 30.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 30/56 = p/100, so p = 30 × 100 ÷ 56 = 53.5714%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =30/56*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.
