How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 76 = 0.723684
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.723684 × 100 = 72.3684%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 72.3684% of 76 is 0.723684 × 76 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/76 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 76 = 72.3684%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/76*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.
