How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 73 ÷ 59 = 1.237288
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.237288 × 100 = 123.7288%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 123.7288% of 59 is 1.237288 × 59 = 73.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/59 = p/100, so p = 73 × 100 ÷ 59 = 123.7288%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73/59*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.
