How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 18 = 2.666667
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.666667 × 100 = 266.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 266.6667% of 18 is 2.666667 × 18 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/18 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 18 = 266.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/18*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.
