How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 59 = 0.932203
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.932203 × 100 = 93.2203%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 93.2203% of 59 is 0.932203 × 59 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/59 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 59 = 93.2203%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/59*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.
