How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 31 = 1.774194
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.774194 × 100 = 177.4194%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 177.4194% of 31 is 1.774194 × 31 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/31 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 31 = 177.4194%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/31*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.
