How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 26 ÷ 70 = 0.371429
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.371429 × 100 = 37.1429%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 37.1429% of 70 is 0.371429 × 70 = 26.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/70 = p/100, so p = 26 × 100 ÷ 70 = 37.1429%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26/70*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.
