How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 29 = 1.896552
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.896552 × 100 = 189.6552%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 189.6552% of 29 is 1.896552 × 29 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/29 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 29 = 189.6552%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/29*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.
