How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 3 ÷ 71 = 0.042254
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.042254 × 100 = 4.2254%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.2254% of 71 is 0.042254 × 71 = 3.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/71 = p/100, so p = 3 × 100 ÷ 71 = 4.2254%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =3/71*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.
