How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 57 ÷ 32 = 1.78125
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.78125 × 100 = 178.125%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 178.125% of 32 is 1.78125 × 32 = 57.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/32 = p/100, so p = 57 × 100 ÷ 32 = 178.125%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57/32*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.
