How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 96 = 0.572917
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.572917 × 100 = 57.2917%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 57.2917% of 96 is 0.572917 × 96 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/96 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 96 = 57.2917%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/96*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.

What the result means
