How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 16 ÷ 77 = 0.207792
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.207792 × 100 = 20.7792%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.7792% of 77 is 0.207792 × 77 = 16.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/77 = p/100, so p = 16 × 100 ÷ 77 = 20.7792%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16/77*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.
