How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 60 ÷ 70 = 0.857143
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.857143 × 100 = 85.7143%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 85.7143% of 70 is 0.857143 × 70 = 60.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 60/70 = p/100, so p = 60 × 100 ÷ 70 = 85.7143%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =60/70*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.
