How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 70 ÷ 78 = 0.897436
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.897436 × 100 = 89.7436%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 89.7436% of 78 is 0.897436 × 78 = 70.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/78 = p/100, so p = 70 × 100 ÷ 78 = 89.7436%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70/78*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.
