How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 54 = 1.444444
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.444444 × 100 = 144.4444%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 144.4444% of 54 is 1.444444 × 54 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/54 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 54 = 144.4444%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/54*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.
