How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 29 ÷ 79 = 0.367089
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.367089 × 100 = 36.7089%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 36.7089% of 79 is 0.367089 × 79 = 29.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/79 = p/100, so p = 29 × 100 ÷ 79 = 36.7089%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =29/79*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.
