How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 47 ÷ 76 = 0.618421
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.618421 × 100 = 61.8421%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 61.8421% of 76 is 0.618421 × 76 = 47.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/76 = p/100, so p = 47 × 100 ÷ 76 = 61.8421%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47/76*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.
