How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 75 = 0.226667
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.226667 × 100 = 22.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.6667% of 75 is 0.226667 × 75 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/75 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 75 = 22.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/75*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.
