How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 93 = 0.83871
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.83871 × 100 = 83.871%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 83.871% of 93 is 0.83871 × 93 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/93 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 93 = 83.871%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/93*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.
