How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 15 ÷ 73 = 0.205479
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.205479 × 100 = 20.5479%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.5479% of 73 is 0.205479 × 73 = 15.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/73 = p/100, so p = 15 × 100 ÷ 73 = 20.5479%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15/73*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.
