How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 27 = 2.888889
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.888889 × 100 = 288.8889%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 288.8889% of 27 is 2.888889 × 27 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/27 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 27 = 288.8889%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/27*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.
