How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 77 ÷ 79 = 0.974684
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.974684 × 100 = 97.4684%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 97.4684% of 79 is 0.974684 × 79 = 77.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/79 = p/100, so p = 77 × 100 ÷ 79 = 97.4684%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =77/79*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.
