How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 70 ÷ 68 = 1.029412
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.029412 × 100 = 102.9412%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 102.9412% of 68 is 1.029412 × 68 = 70.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/68 = p/100, so p = 70 × 100 ÷ 68 = 102.9412%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70/68*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
