How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 71 ÷ 97 = 0.731959
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.731959 × 100 = 73.1959%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 73.1959% of 97 is 0.731959 × 97 = 71.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/97 = p/100, so p = 71 × 100 ÷ 97 = 73.1959%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71/97*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.
