How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 37 = 1.297297
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.297297 × 100 = 129.7297%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 129.7297% of 37 is 1.297297 × 37 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/37 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 37 = 129.7297%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/37*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.
