How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 23 = 3.391304
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.391304 × 100 = 339.1304%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 339.1304% of 23 is 3.391304 × 23 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/23 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 23 = 339.1304%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/23*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.
