How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 74 ÷ 17 = 4.352941
  2. Multiply by 100: 4.352941 × 100 = 435.2941%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 435.2941% of 17 is 4.352941 × 17 = 74.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 74/17 = p/100, so p = 74 × 100 ÷ 17 = 435.2941%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =74/17*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.
