How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 300 ÷ 175 = 1.714286
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.714286 × 100 = 171.4286%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 171.4286% of 175 is 1.714286 × 175 = 300.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 300/175 = p/100, so p = 300 × 100 ÷ 175 = 171.4286%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =300/175*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.
