How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 71 ÷ 24 = 2.958333
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.958333 × 100 = 295.8333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 295.8333% of 24 is 2.958333 × 24 = 71.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/24 = p/100, so p = 71 × 100 ÷ 24 = 295.8333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71/24*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.
