How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 71 ÷ 31 = 2.290323
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.290323 × 100 = 229.0323%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 229.0323% of 31 is 2.290323 × 31 = 71.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/31 = p/100, so p = 71 × 100 ÷ 31 = 229.0323%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71/31*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
