How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 51 ÷ 79 = 0.64557
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.64557 × 100 = 64.557%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 64.557% of 79 is 0.64557 × 79 = 51.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/79 = p/100, so p = 51 × 100 ÷ 79 = 64.557%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =51/79*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.
