How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 43 ÷ 70 = 0.614286
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.614286 × 100 = 61.4286%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 61.4286% of 70 is 0.614286 × 70 = 43.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/70 = p/100, so p = 43 × 100 ÷ 70 = 61.4286%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43/70*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.
