How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 53 ÷ 63 = 0.84127
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.84127 × 100 = 84.127%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 84.127% of 63 is 0.84127 × 63 = 53.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 53/63 = p/100, so p = 53 × 100 ÷ 63 = 84.127%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =53/63*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.
