How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 74 ÷ 12 = 6.166667
  2. Multiply by 100: 6.166667 × 100 = 616.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 616.6667% of 12 is 6.166667 × 12 = 74.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 74/12 = p/100, so p = 74 × 100 ÷ 12 = 616.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =74/12*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.
