How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 69 ÷ 42 = 1.642857
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.642857 × 100 = 164.2857%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 164.2857% of 42 is 1.642857 × 42 = 69.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 69/42 = p/100, so p = 69 × 100 ÷ 42 = 164.2857%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =69/42*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.
