How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 72 ÷ 58 = 1.241379
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.241379 × 100 = 124.1379%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 124.1379% of 58 is 1.241379 × 58 = 72.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 72/58 = p/100, so p = 72 × 100 ÷ 58 = 124.1379%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =72/58*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.
