How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 72 ÷ 35 = 2.057143
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.057143 × 100 = 205.7143%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 205.7143% of 35 is 2.057143 × 35 = 72.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 72/35 = p/100, so p = 72 × 100 ÷ 35 = 205.7143%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =72/35*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.
