How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 33 ÷ 59 = 0.559322
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.559322 × 100 = 55.9322%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 55.9322% of 59 is 0.559322 × 59 = 33.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/59 = p/100, so p = 33 × 100 ÷ 59 = 55.9322%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =33/59*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.
