How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 46 ÷ 55 = 0.836364
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.836364 × 100 = 83.6364%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 83.6364% of 55 is 0.836364 × 55 = 46.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/55 = p/100, so p = 46 × 100 ÷ 55 = 83.6364%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46/55*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.
