How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 73 ÷ 68 = 1.073529
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.073529 × 100 = 107.3529%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 107.3529% of 68 is 1.073529 × 68 = 73.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/68 = p/100, so p = 73 × 100 ÷ 68 = 107.3529%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73/68*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.
