How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 51 = 0.941176
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.941176 × 100 = 94.1176%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 94.1176% of 51 is 0.941176 × 51 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/51 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 51 = 94.1176%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/51*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.
