How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 95 = 0.578947
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.578947 × 100 = 57.8947%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 57.8947% of 95 is 0.578947 × 95 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/95 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 95 = 57.8947%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/95*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.
