How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 53 ÷ 78 = 0.679487
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.679487 × 100 = 67.9487%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 67.9487% of 78 is 0.679487 × 78 = 53.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 53/78 = p/100, so p = 53 × 100 ÷ 78 = 67.9487%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =53/78*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.
