How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 31 ÷ 73 = 0.424658
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.424658 × 100 = 42.4658%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.4658% of 73 is 0.424658 × 73 = 31.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/73 = p/100, so p = 31 × 100 ÷ 73 = 42.4658%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31/73*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.
