How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 16 ÷ 74 = 0.216216
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.216216 × 100 = 21.6216%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.6216% of 74 is 0.216216 × 74 = 16.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/74 = p/100, so p = 16 × 100 ÷ 74 = 21.6216%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16/74*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.
