How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 74 ÷ 87 = 0.850575
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.850575 × 100 = 85.0575%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 85.0575% of 87 is 0.850575 × 87 = 74.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 74/87 = p/100, so p = 74 × 100 ÷ 87 = 85.0575%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =74/87*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.
