- Multiply by 100: 0.027397 × 100 = 2.7397%

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 2/73 = p/100, so p = 2 × 100 ÷ 73 = 2.7397%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =2/73*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.
