How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 200 = 0.275
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.275 × 100 = 27.5%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27.5% of 200 is 0.275 × 200 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/200 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 200 = 27.5%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/200*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.

What the result means

55 is between a quarter and a half of 200. The part that is left, 145, is the other 72.5%.
