How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 59 ÷ 97 = 0.608247
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.608247 × 100 = 60.8247%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 60.8247% of 97 is 0.608247 × 97 = 59.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/97 = p/100, so p = 59 × 100 ÷ 97 = 60.8247%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =59/97*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.
