How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 61 = 0.901639
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.901639 × 100 = 90.1639%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 90.1639% of 61 is 0.901639 × 61 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/61 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 61 = 90.1639%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/61*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.
