How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 70 ÷ 300 = 0.233333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.233333 × 100 = 23.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.3333% of 300 is 0.233333 × 300 = 70.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/300 = p/100, so p = 70 × 100 ÷ 300 = 23.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70/300*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.
