How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 51 ÷ 81 = 0.62963
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.62963 × 100 = 62.963%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 62.963% of 81 is 0.62963 × 81 = 51.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/81 = p/100, so p = 51 × 100 ÷ 81 = 62.963%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =51/81*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.
