How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 81 = 0.962963
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.962963 × 100 = 96.2963%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 96.2963% of 81 is 0.962963 × 81 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/81 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 81 = 96.2963%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/81*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.
