How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 61 ÷ 53 = 1.150943
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.150943 × 100 = 115.0943%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 115.0943% of 53 is 1.150943 × 53 = 61.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/53 = p/100, so p = 61 × 100 ÷ 53 = 115.0943%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =61/53*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.
