How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 3 ÷ 77 = 0.038961
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.038961 × 100 = 3.8961%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.8961% of 77 is 0.038961 × 77 = 3.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/77 = p/100, so p = 3 × 100 ÷ 77 = 3.8961%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =3/77*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.

What the result means

3 is less than a tenth of 77. The part that is left, 74, is the other 96.1039%.
