How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 77 ÷ 89 = 0.865169
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.865169 × 100 = 86.5169%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 86.5169% of 89 is 0.865169 × 89 = 77.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/89 = p/100, so p = 77 × 100 ÷ 89 = 86.5169%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =77/89*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.
