How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 17 = 2.823529
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.823529 × 100 = 282.3529%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 282.3529% of 17 is 2.823529 × 17 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/17 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 17 = 282.3529%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/17*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.
