How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 23 = 2.391304
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.391304 × 100 = 239.1304%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 239.1304% of 23 is 2.391304 × 23 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/23 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 23 = 239.1304%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/23*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.
