How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 83 ÷ 52 = 1.596154
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.596154 × 100 = 159.6154%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 159.6154% of 52 is 1.596154 × 52 = 83.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/52 = p/100, so p = 83 × 100 ÷ 52 = 159.6154%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =83/52*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.
