How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 400 = 0.1375
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.1375 × 100 = 13.75%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.75% of 400 is 0.1375 × 400 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/400 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 400 = 13.75%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/400*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 tenth and a quarter of 400. The part that is left, 345, is the other 86.25%.
