How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 19 ÷ 72 = 0.263889
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.263889 × 100 = 26.3889%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.3889% of 72 is 0.263889 × 72 = 19.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 19/72 = p/100, so p = 19 × 100 ÷ 72 = 26.3889%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =19/72*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.
