How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 65 = 0.738462
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.738462 × 100 = 73.8462%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 73.8462% of 65 is 0.738462 × 65 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/65 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 65 = 73.8462%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/65*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.
