How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 74 ÷ 84 = 0.880952
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.880952 × 100 = 88.0952%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 88.0952% of 84 is 0.880952 × 84 = 74.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 74/84 = p/100, so p = 74 × 100 ÷ 84 = 88.0952%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =74/84*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.
