How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 59 ÷ 51 = 1.156863
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.156863 × 100 = 115.6863%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 115.6863% of 51 is 1.156863 × 51 = 59.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/51 = p/100, so p = 59 × 100 ÷ 51 = 115.6863%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =59/51*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.
