How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 30 ÷ 58 = 0.517241
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.517241 × 100 = 51.7241%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 51.7241% of 58 is 0.517241 × 58 = 30.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 30/58 = p/100, so p = 30 × 100 ÷ 58 = 51.7241%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =30/58*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.
