How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 61 ÷ 17 = 3.588235
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.588235 × 100 = 358.8235%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 358.8235% of 17 is 3.588235 × 17 = 61.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/17 = p/100, so p = 61 × 100 ÷ 17 = 358.8235%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =61/17*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.
