How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 70 ÷ 47 = 1.489362
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.489362 × 100 = 148.9362%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 148.9362% of 47 is 1.489362 × 47 = 70.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/47 = p/100, so p = 70 × 100 ÷ 47 = 148.9362%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70/47*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.
