How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 24 = 0.708333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.708333 × 100 = 70.8333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 70.8333% of 24 is 0.708333 × 24 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/24 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 24 = 70.8333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/24*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
