How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 68 ÷ 27 = 2.518519
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.518519 × 100 = 251.8519%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 251.8519% of 27 is 2.518519 × 27 = 68.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 68/27 = p/100, so p = 68 × 100 ÷ 27 = 251.8519%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =68/27*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.
