How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 59 ÷ 62 = 0.951613
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.951613 × 100 = 95.1613%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 95.1613% of 62 is 0.951613 × 62 = 59.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/62 = p/100, so p = 59 × 100 ÷ 62 = 95.1613%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =59/62*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.
