How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 52 ÷ 88 = 0.590909
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.590909 × 100 = 59.0909%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 59.0909% of 88 is 0.590909 × 88 = 52.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/88 = p/100, so p = 52 × 100 ÷ 88 = 59.0909%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52/88*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.
