How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 52 ÷ 98 = 0.530612
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.530612 × 100 = 53.0612%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 53.0612% of 98 is 0.530612 × 98 = 52.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/98 = p/100, so p = 52 × 100 ÷ 98 = 53.0612%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52/98*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.
