How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 57 ÷ 59 = 0.966102
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.966102 × 100 = 96.6102%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 96.6102% of 59 is 0.966102 × 59 = 57.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/59 = p/100, so p = 57 × 100 ÷ 59 = 96.6102%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57/59*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.
