How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 77 ÷ 85 = 0.905882
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.905882 × 100 = 90.5882%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 90.5882% of 85 is 0.905882 × 85 = 77.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/85 = p/100, so p = 77 × 100 ÷ 85 = 90.5882%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =77/85*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.
