How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 22 ÷ 78 = 0.282051
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.282051 × 100 = 28.2051%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28.2051% of 78 is 0.282051 × 78 = 22.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/78 = p/100, so p = 22 × 100 ÷ 78 = 28.2051%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =22/78*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.
