How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 73 = 0.232877
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.232877 × 100 = 23.2877%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.2877% of 73 is 0.232877 × 73 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/73 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 73 = 23.2877%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/73*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.
