How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 56 ÷ 88 = 0.636364
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.636364 × 100 = 63.6364%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 63.6364% of 88 is 0.636364 × 88 = 56.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 56/88 = p/100, so p = 56 × 100 ÷ 88 = 63.6364%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =56/88*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.
