How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 16 ÷ 70 = 0.228571
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.228571 × 100 = 22.8571%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.8571% of 70 is 0.228571 × 70 = 16.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/70 = p/100, so p = 16 × 100 ÷ 70 = 22.8571%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16/70*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
