How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 75 ÷ 78 = 0.961538
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.961538 × 100 = 96.1538%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 96.1538% of 78 is 0.961538 × 78 = 75.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/78 = p/100, so p = 75 × 100 ÷ 78 = 96.1538%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75/78*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.
