How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 23 ÷ 74 = 0.310811
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.310811 × 100 = 31.0811%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.0811% of 74 is 0.310811 × 74 = 23.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/74 = p/100, so p = 23 × 100 ÷ 74 = 31.0811%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23/74*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.
