How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 51 ÷ 27 = 1.888889
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.888889 × 100 = 188.8889%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 188.8889% of 27 is 1.888889 × 27 = 51.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/27 = p/100, so p = 51 × 100 ÷ 27 = 188.8889%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =51/27*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.
