How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 34 = 2.294118
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.294118 × 100 = 229.4118%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 229.4118% of 34 is 2.294118 × 34 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/34 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 34 = 229.4118%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/34*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.
