How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 35 ÷ 72 = 0.486111
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.486111 × 100 = 48.6111%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 48.6111% of 72 is 0.486111 × 72 = 35.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 35/72 = p/100, so p = 35 × 100 ÷ 72 = 48.6111%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =35/72*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.
