How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 70 ÷ 96 = 0.729167
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.729167 × 100 = 72.9167%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 72.9167% of 96 is 0.729167 × 96 = 70.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/96 = p/100, so p = 70 × 100 ÷ 96 = 72.9167%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70/96*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.
