How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 66 = 0.833333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.833333 × 100 = 83.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 83.3333% of 66 is 0.833333 × 66 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/66 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 66 = 83.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/66*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.
