How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 70 ÷ 12 = 5.833333
  2. Multiply by 100: 5.833333 × 100 = 583.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 583.3333% of 12 is 5.833333 × 12 = 70.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/12 = p/100, so p = 70 × 100 ÷ 12 = 583.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70/12*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.
