How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 16 ÷ 75 = 0.213333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.213333 × 100 = 21.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.3333% of 75 is 0.213333 × 75 = 16.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/75 = p/100, so p = 16 × 100 ÷ 75 = 21.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16/75*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.
