How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 43 ÷ 48 = 0.895833
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.895833 × 100 = 89.5833%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 89.5833% of 48 is 0.895833 × 48 = 43.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/48 = p/100, so p = 43 × 100 ÷ 48 = 89.5833%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43/48*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.
