How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 70 ÷ 55 = 1.272727
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.272727 × 100 = 127.2727%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 127.2727% of 55 is 1.272727 × 55 = 70.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/55 = p/100, so p = 70 × 100 ÷ 55 = 127.2727%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70/55*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.

What the result means
