How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 53 ÷ 62 = 0.854839
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.854839 × 100 = 85.4839%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 85.4839% of 62 is 0.854839 × 62 = 53.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 53/62 = p/100, so p = 53 × 100 ÷ 62 = 85.4839%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =53/62*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.
