How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 73 = 0.753425
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.753425 × 100 = 75.3425%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 75.3425% of 73 is 0.753425 × 73 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/73 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 73 = 75.3425%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/73*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.
