How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 68 = 0.705882
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.705882 × 100 = 70.5882%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 70.5882% of 68 is 0.705882 × 68 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/68 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 68 = 70.5882%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/68*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.
