How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 71 ÷ 74 = 0.959459
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.959459 × 100 = 95.9459%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 95.9459% of 74 is 0.959459 × 74 = 71.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/74 = p/100, so p = 71 × 100 ÷ 74 = 95.9459%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71/74*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.
