How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 2 ÷ 74 = 0.027027
- Multiply by 100: 0.027027 × 100 = 2.7027%
- Check: Work backwards: 2.7027% of 74 is 0.027027 × 74 = 2.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 2/74 = p/100, so p = 2 × 100 ÷ 74 = 2.7027%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =2/74*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.
