How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 85 ÷ 150 = 0.566667
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.566667 × 100 = 56.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 56.6667% of 150 is 0.566667 × 150 = 85.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 85/150 = p/100, so p = 85 × 100 ÷ 150 = 56.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =85/150*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.
