How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 51 ÷ 31 = 1.645161
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.645161 × 100 = 164.5161%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 164.5161% of 31 is 1.645161 × 31 = 51.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/31 = p/100, so p = 51 × 100 ÷ 31 = 164.5161%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =51/31*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.
