How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 50 ÷ 61 = 0.819672
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.819672 × 100 = 81.9672%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 81.9672% of 61 is 0.819672 × 61 = 50.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/61 = p/100, so p = 50 × 100 ÷ 61 = 81.9672%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =50/61*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.
