How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 16 ÷ 71 = 0.225352
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.225352 × 100 = 22.5352%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.5352% of 71 is 0.225352 × 71 = 16.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/71 = p/100, so p = 16 × 100 ÷ 71 = 22.5352%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16/71*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.
