How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 50 ÷ 28 = 1.785714
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.785714 × 100 = 178.5714%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 178.5714% of 28 is 1.785714 × 28 = 50.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/28 = p/100, so p = 50 × 100 ÷ 28 = 178.5714%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =50/28*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.
