How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 56 ÷ 76 = 0.736842
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.736842 × 100 = 73.6842%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 73.6842% of 76 is 0.736842 × 76 = 56.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 56/76 = p/100, so p = 56 × 100 ÷ 76 = 73.6842%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =56/76*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.
