How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 56 ÷ 45 = 1.244444
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.244444 × 100 = 124.4444%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 124.4444% of 45 is 1.244444 × 45 = 56.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 56/45 = p/100, so p = 56 × 100 ÷ 45 = 124.4444%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =56/45*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.
