How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 59 ÷ 80 = 0.7375
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.7375 × 100 = 73.75%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 73.75% of 80 is 0.7375 × 80 = 59.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/80 = p/100, so p = 59 × 100 ÷ 80 = 73.75%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =59/80*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.
