How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 73 ÷ 31 = 2.354839
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.354839 × 100 = 235.4839%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 235.4839% of 31 is 2.354839 × 31 = 73.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/31 = p/100, so p = 73 × 100 ÷ 31 = 235.4839%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73/31*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.
