How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 26 ÷ 79 = 0.329114
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.329114 × 100 = 32.9114%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 32.9114% of 79 is 0.329114 × 79 = 26.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/79 = p/100, so p = 26 × 100 ÷ 79 = 32.9114%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26/79*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.
