How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 65 ÷ 79 = 0.822785
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.822785 × 100 = 82.2785%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 82.2785% of 79 is 0.822785 × 79 = 65.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 65/79 = p/100, so p = 65 × 100 ÷ 79 = 82.2785%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =65/79*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.
