How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 75 ÷ 47 = 1.595745
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.595745 × 100 = 159.5745%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 159.5745% of 47 is 1.595745 × 47 = 75.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/47 = p/100, so p = 75 × 100 ÷ 47 = 159.5745%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75/47*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.
