How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 300 = 0.183333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.183333 × 100 = 18.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.3333% of 300 is 0.183333 × 300 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/300 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 300 = 18.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/300*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.
