How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 87 ÷ 54 = 1.611111
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.611111 × 100 = 161.1111%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 161.1111% of 54 is 1.611111 × 54 = 87.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/54 = p/100, so p = 87 × 100 ÷ 54 = 161.1111%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =87/54*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.
