How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 27 ÷ 75 = 0.36
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.36 × 100 = 36%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 36% of 75 is 0.36 × 75 = 27.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/75 = p/100, so p = 27 × 100 ÷ 75 = 36%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27/75*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.
