How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 46 = 1.195652
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.195652 × 100 = 119.5652%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 119.5652% of 46 is 1.195652 × 46 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/46 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 46 = 119.5652%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/46*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.
