How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 6 ÷ 73 = 0.082192
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.082192 × 100 = 8.2192%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.2192% of 73 is 0.082192 × 73 = 6.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/73 = p/100, so p = 6 × 100 ÷ 73 = 8.2192%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6/73*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.
