How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 33 ÷ 78 = 0.423077
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.423077 × 100 = 42.3077%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.3077% of 78 is 0.423077 × 78 = 33.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/78 = p/100, so p = 33 × 100 ÷ 78 = 42.3077%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =33/78*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.
