How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 25 ÷ 79 = 0.316456
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.316456 × 100 = 31.6456%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.6456% of 79 is 0.316456 × 79 = 25.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/79 = p/100, so p = 25 × 100 ÷ 79 = 31.6456%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =25/79*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.
