How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 68 ÷ 70 = 0.971429
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.971429 × 100 = 97.1429%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 97.1429% of 70 is 0.971429 × 70 = 68.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 68/70 = p/100, so p = 68 × 100 ÷ 70 = 97.1429%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =68/70*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.
