How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 44 = 1.772727
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.772727 × 100 = 177.2727%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 177.2727% of 44 is 1.772727 × 44 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/44 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 44 = 177.2727%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/44*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.
