How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 85 = 0.564706
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.564706 × 100 = 56.4706%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 56.4706% of 85 is 0.564706 × 85 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/85 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 85 = 56.4706%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/85*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.
