How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 43 ÷ 88 = 0.488636
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.488636 × 100 = 48.8636%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 48.8636% of 88 is 0.488636 × 88 = 43.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/88 = p/100, so p = 43 × 100 ÷ 88 = 48.8636%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43/88*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.
