How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 54 ÷ 21 = 2.571429
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.571429 × 100 = 257.1429%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 257.1429% of 21 is 2.571429 × 21 = 54.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 54/21 = p/100, so p = 54 × 100 ÷ 21 = 257.1429%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =54/21*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.
