How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 77 ÷ 88 = 0.875
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.875 × 100 = 87.5%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 87.5% of 88 is 0.875 × 88 = 77.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/88 = p/100, so p = 77 × 100 ÷ 88 = 87.5%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =77/88*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.
