How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 75 ÷ 55 = 1.363636
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.363636 × 100 = 136.3636%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 136.3636% of 55 is 1.363636 × 55 = 75.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/55 = p/100, so p = 75 × 100 ÷ 55 = 136.3636%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75/55*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.
