How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 43 = 1.27907
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.27907 × 100 = 127.907%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 127.907% of 43 is 1.27907 × 43 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/43 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 43 = 127.907%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/43*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
