How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 73 ÷ 29 = 2.517241
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.517241 × 100 = 251.7241%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 251.7241% of 29 is 2.517241 × 29 = 73.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/29 = p/100, so p = 73 × 100 ÷ 29 = 251.7241%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73/29*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.
