How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 88 ÷ 15 = 5.866667
  2. Multiply by 100: 5.866667 × 100 = 586.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 586.6667% of 15 is 5.866667 × 15 = 88.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/15 = p/100, so p = 88 × 100 ÷ 15 = 586.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88/15*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.
