How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 27 ÷ 76 = 0.355263
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.355263 × 100 = 35.5263%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 35.5263% of 76 is 0.355263 × 76 = 27.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/76 = p/100, so p = 27 × 100 ÷ 76 = 35.5263%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27/76*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.
