How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 29 ÷ 71 = 0.408451
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.408451 × 100 = 40.8451%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 40.8451% of 71 is 0.408451 × 71 = 29.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/71 = p/100, so p = 29 × 100 ÷ 71 = 40.8451%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =29/71*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.
