How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 43 ÷ 59 = 0.728814
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.728814 × 100 = 72.8814%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 72.8814% of 59 is 0.728814 × 59 = 43.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/59 = p/100, so p = 43 × 100 ÷ 59 = 72.8814%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43/59*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.
