How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 88 ÷ 48 = 1.833333
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.833333 × 100 = 183.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 183.3333% of 48 is 1.833333 × 48 = 88.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/48 = p/100, so p = 88 × 100 ÷ 48 = 183.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88/48*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.
