How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 43 ÷ 79 = 0.544304
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.544304 × 100 = 54.4304%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 54.4304% of 79 is 0.544304 × 79 = 43.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/79 = p/100, so p = 43 × 100 ÷ 79 = 54.4304%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43/79*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.
