How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 83 = 0.578313
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.578313 × 100 = 57.8313%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 57.8313% of 83 is 0.578313 × 83 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/83 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 83 = 57.8313%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/83*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.
