How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 38 = 2.052632
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.052632 × 100 = 205.2632%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 205.2632% of 38 is 2.052632 × 38 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/38 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 38 = 205.2632%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/38*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.
