How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 74 = 1.054054
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.054054 × 100 = 105.4054%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 105.4054% of 74 is 1.054054 × 74 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/74 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 74 = 105.4054%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/74*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.
