How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 31 ÷ 59 = 0.525424
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.525424 × 100 = 52.5424%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 52.5424% of 59 is 0.525424 × 59 = 31.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/59 = p/100, so p = 31 × 100 ÷ 59 = 52.5424%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31/59*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.
