How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 53 ÷ 100 = 0.53
- Multiply: 0.53 × 55 = 29.15
- Check: Work backwards: 29.15 ÷ 55 × 100 = 53%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 53/100 = part/55, so part = 53 × 55 ÷ 100 = 29.15. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =53%*55. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
