How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 58 = 1.344828
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.344828 × 100 = 134.4828%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 134.4828% of 58 is 1.344828 × 58 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/58 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 58 = 134.4828%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/58*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.
