How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 61 ÷ 71 = 0.859155
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.859155 × 100 = 85.9155%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 85.9155% of 71 is 0.859155 × 71 = 61.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/71 = p/100, so p = 61 × 100 ÷ 71 = 85.9155%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =61/71*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.
