How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 68 ÷ 24 = 2.833333
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.833333 × 100 = 283.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 283.3333% of 24 is 2.833333 × 24 = 68.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 68/24 = p/100, so p = 68 × 100 ÷ 24 = 283.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =68/24*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.
