How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 87 ÷ 53 = 1.641509
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.641509 × 100 = 164.1509%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 164.1509% of 53 is 1.641509 × 53 = 87.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/53 = p/100, so p = 87 × 100 ÷ 53 = 164.1509%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =87/53*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.
