How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 31 = 1.548387
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.548387 × 100 = 154.8387%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 154.8387% of 31 is 1.548387 × 31 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/31 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 31 = 154.8387%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/31*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.
