How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 66 = 0.727273
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.727273 × 100 = 72.7273%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 72.7273% of 66 is 0.727273 × 66 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/66 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 66 = 72.7273%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/66*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.
