How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 60 = 0.916667
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.916667 × 100 = 91.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 91.6667% of 60 is 0.916667 × 60 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/60 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 60 = 91.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/60*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.
