How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 51 = 1.078431
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.078431 × 100 = 107.8431%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 107.8431% of 51 is 1.078431 × 51 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/51 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 51 = 107.8431%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/51*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.
