How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 36 ÷ 53 = 0.679245
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.679245 × 100 = 67.9245%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 67.9245% of 53 is 0.679245 × 53 = 36.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/53 = p/100, so p = 36 × 100 ÷ 53 = 67.9245%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36/53*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.
