How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 74 ÷ 83 = 0.891566
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.891566 × 100 = 89.1566%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 89.1566% of 83 is 0.891566 × 83 = 74.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 74/83 = p/100, so p = 74 × 100 ÷ 83 = 89.1566%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =74/83*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.
