How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 53 = 1.037736
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.037736 × 100 = 103.7736%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 103.7736% of 53 is 1.037736 × 53 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/53 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 53 = 103.7736%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/53*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
