How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 18 = 4.333333
  2. Multiply by 100: 4.333333 × 100 = 433.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 433.3333% of 18 is 4.333333 × 18 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/18 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 18 = 433.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/18*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.

What the result means
