How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 31 ÷ 53 = 0.584906
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.584906 × 100 = 58.4906%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 58.4906% of 53 is 0.584906 × 53 = 31.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/53 = p/100, so p = 31 × 100 ÷ 53 = 58.4906%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31/53*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.
