How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 7 = 11.142857
  2. Multiply by 100: 11.142857 × 100 = 1,114.2857%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1,114.2857% of 7 is 11.142857 × 7 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/7 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 7 = 1,114.2857%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/7*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.
