How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 70 = 1.114286
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.114286 × 100 = 111.4286%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 111.4286% of 70 is 1.114286 × 70 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/70 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 70 = 111.4286%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/70*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.
