How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 15 ÷ 74 = 0.202703
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.202703 × 100 = 20.2703%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.2703% of 74 is 0.202703 × 74 = 15.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/74 = p/100, so p = 15 × 100 ÷ 74 = 20.2703%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15/74*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.
