How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 72 ÷ 77 = 0.935065
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.935065 × 100 = 93.5065%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 93.5065% of 77 is 0.935065 × 77 = 72.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 72/77 = p/100, so p = 72 × 100 ÷ 77 = 93.5065%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =72/77*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.
