How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 54 ÷ 17 = 3.176471
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.176471 × 100 = 317.6471%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 317.6471% of 17 is 3.176471 × 17 = 54.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 54/17 = p/100, so p = 54 × 100 ÷ 17 = 317.6471%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =54/17*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.
