How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 47 ÷ 54 = 0.87037
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.87037 × 100 = 87.037%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 87.037% of 54 is 0.87037 × 54 = 47.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/54 = p/100, so p = 47 × 100 ÷ 54 = 87.037%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47/54*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.
