How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 77 ÷ 86 = 0.895349
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.895349 × 100 = 89.5349%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 89.5349% of 86 is 0.895349 × 86 = 77.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/86 = p/100, so p = 77 × 100 ÷ 86 = 89.5349%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =77/86*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.
