How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 36 ÷ 63 = 0.571429
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.571429 × 100 = 57.1429%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 57.1429% of 63 is 0.571429 × 63 = 36.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/63 = p/100, so p = 36 × 100 ÷ 63 = 57.1429%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36/63*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.
