How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 15 ÷ 71 = 0.211268
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.211268 × 100 = 21.1268%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.1268% of 71 is 0.211268 × 71 = 15.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/71 = p/100, so p = 15 × 100 ÷ 71 = 21.1268%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15/71*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.
