How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 60 ÷ 79 = 0.759494
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.759494 × 100 = 75.9494%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 75.9494% of 79 is 0.759494 × 79 = 60.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 60/79 = p/100, so p = 60 × 100 ÷ 79 = 75.9494%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =60/79*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.
