How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 88 ÷ 49 = 1.795918
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.795918 × 100 = 179.5918%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 179.5918% of 49 is 1.795918 × 49 = 88.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/49 = p/100, so p = 88 × 100 ÷ 49 = 179.5918%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88/49*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.
