How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 60 ÷ 78 = 0.769231
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.769231 × 100 = 76.9231%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 76.9231% of 78 is 0.769231 × 78 = 60.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 60/78 = p/100, so p = 60 × 100 ÷ 78 = 76.9231%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =60/78*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.
