How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 50 ÷ 62 = 0.806452
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.806452 × 100 = 80.6452%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 80.6452% of 62 is 0.806452 × 62 = 50.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/62 = p/100, so p = 50 × 100 ÷ 62 = 80.6452%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =50/62*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.
