How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 50 ÷ 43 = 1.162791
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.162791 × 100 = 116.2791%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 116.2791% of 43 is 1.162791 × 43 = 50.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/43 = p/100, so p = 50 × 100 ÷ 43 = 116.2791%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =50/43*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.

What the result means
