How to work it out

- Multiply by 100: 0.505051 × 100 = 50.5051%

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/99 = p/100, so p = 50 × 100 ÷ 99 = 50.5051%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =50/99*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.
