How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 6 ÷ 61 = 0.098361
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.098361 × 100 = 9.8361%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.8361% of 61 is 0.098361 × 61 = 6.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/61 = p/100, so p = 6 × 100 ÷ 61 = 9.8361%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6/61*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.

What the result means

6 is less than a tenth of 61. The part that is left, 55, is the other 90.1639%.
