How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 48 = 1.145833
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.145833 × 100 = 114.5833%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 114.5833% of 48 is 1.145833 × 48 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/48 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 48 = 114.5833%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/48*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.
