How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 90 = 0.533333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.533333 × 100 = 53.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 53.3333% of 90 is 0.533333 × 90 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/90 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 90 = 53.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/90*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.
