How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 84 = 0.654762
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.654762 × 100 = 65.4762%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 65.4762% of 84 is 0.654762 × 84 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/84 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 84 = 65.4762%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/84*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.
