How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 62 ÷ 71 = 0.873239
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.873239 × 100 = 87.3239%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 87.3239% of 71 is 0.873239 × 71 = 62.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/71 = p/100, so p = 62 × 100 ÷ 71 = 87.3239%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62/71*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.
