How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 47 = 1.659574
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.659574 × 100 = 165.9574%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 165.9574% of 47 is 1.659574 × 47 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/47 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 47 = 165.9574%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/47*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.
