How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 21 ÷ 71 = 0.295775
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.295775 × 100 = 29.5775%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.5775% of 71 is 0.295775 × 71 = 21.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 21/71 = p/100, so p = 21 × 100 ÷ 71 = 29.5775%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =21/71*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.
