How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 73 ÷ 17 = 4.294118
  2. Multiply by 100: 4.294118 × 100 = 429.4118%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 429.4118% of 17 is 4.294118 × 17 = 73.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/17 = p/100, so p = 73 × 100 ÷ 17 = 429.4118%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73/17*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.
