How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 51 ÷ 29 = 1.758621
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.758621 × 100 = 175.8621%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 175.8621% of 29 is 1.758621 × 29 = 51.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/29 = p/100, so p = 51 × 100 ÷ 29 = 175.8621%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =51/29*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.
