How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 29 = 2.689655
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.689655 × 100 = 268.9655%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 268.9655% of 29 is 2.689655 × 29 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/29 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 29 = 268.9655%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/29*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.
