How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 15 ÷ 78 = 0.192308
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.192308 × 100 = 19.2308%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 19.2308% of 78 is 0.192308 × 78 = 15.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/78 = p/100, so p = 15 × 100 ÷ 78 = 19.2308%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15/78*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.

What the result means
