How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 74 ÷ 36 = 2.055556
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.055556 × 100 = 205.5556%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 205.5556% of 36 is 2.055556 × 36 = 74.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 74/36 = p/100, so p = 74 × 100 ÷ 36 = 205.5556%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =74/36*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.
