How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 23 = 2.086957
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.086957 × 100 = 208.6957%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 208.6957% of 23 is 2.086957 × 23 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/23 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 23 = 208.6957%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/23*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.
