How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 71 ÷ 42 = 1.690476
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.690476 × 100 = 169.0476%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 169.0476% of 42 is 1.690476 × 42 = 71.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/42 = p/100, so p = 71 × 100 ÷ 42 = 169.0476%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71/42*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.
