How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 52 ÷ 61 = 0.852459
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.852459 × 100 = 85.2459%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 85.2459% of 61 is 0.852459 × 61 = 52.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/61 = p/100, so p = 52 × 100 ÷ 61 = 85.2459%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52/61*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.
