How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 88 ÷ 56 = 1.571429
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.571429 × 100 = 157.1429%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 157.1429% of 56 is 1.571429 × 56 = 88.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/56 = p/100, so p = 88 × 100 ÷ 56 = 157.1429%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88/56*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.
