How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 59 ÷ 37 = 1.594595
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.594595 × 100 = 159.4595%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 159.4595% of 37 is 1.594595 × 37 = 59.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/37 = p/100, so p = 59 × 100 ÷ 37 = 159.4595%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =59/37*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.
