How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 62 ÷ 70 = 0.885714
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.885714 × 100 = 88.5714%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 88.5714% of 70 is 0.885714 × 70 = 62.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/70 = p/100, so p = 62 × 100 ÷ 70 = 88.5714%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62/70*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.
