How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 55 = 1.418182
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.418182 × 100 = 141.8182%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 141.8182% of 55 is 1.418182 × 55 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/55 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 55 = 141.8182%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/55*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.
