How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 81 = 0.592593
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.592593 × 100 = 59.2593%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 59.2593% of 81 is 0.592593 × 81 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/81 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 81 = 59.2593%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/81*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.
