How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 83 ÷ 15 = 5.533333
  2. Multiply by 100: 5.533333 × 100 = 553.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 553.3333% of 15 is 5.533333 × 15 = 83.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/15 = p/100, so p = 83 × 100 ÷ 15 = 553.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =83/15*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.
