How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 61 ÷ 42 = 1.452381
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.452381 × 100 = 145.2381%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 145.2381% of 42 is 1.452381 × 42 = 61.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/42 = p/100, so p = 61 × 100 ÷ 42 = 145.2381%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =61/42*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.
