How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 51 ÷ 62 = 0.822581
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.822581 × 100 = 82.2581%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 82.2581% of 62 is 0.822581 × 62 = 51.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/62 = p/100, so p = 51 × 100 ÷ 62 = 82.2581%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =51/62*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.
