How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 68 = 1.147059
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.147059 × 100 = 114.7059%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 114.7059% of 68 is 1.147059 × 68 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/68 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 68 = 114.7059%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/68*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.
