How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 23 ÷ 79 = 0.291139
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.291139 × 100 = 29.1139%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.1139% of 79 is 0.291139 × 79 = 23.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/79 = p/100, so p = 23 × 100 ÷ 79 = 29.1139%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23/79*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.
