How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 54 ÷ 34 = 1.588235
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.588235 × 100 = 158.8235%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 158.8235% of 34 is 1.588235 × 34 = 54.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 54/34 = p/100, so p = 54 × 100 ÷ 34 = 158.8235%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =54/34*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.
