How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 61 ÷ 78 = 0.782051
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.782051 × 100 = 78.2051%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 78.2051% of 78 is 0.782051 × 78 = 61.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/78 = p/100, so p = 61 × 100 ÷ 78 = 78.2051%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =61/78*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.
