How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 29 ÷ 17 = 1.705882
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.705882 × 100 = 170.5882%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 170.5882% of 17 is 1.705882 × 17 = 29.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/17 = p/100, so p = 29 × 100 ÷ 17 = 170.5882%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =29/17*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.
