How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 97 = 0.804124
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.804124 × 100 = 80.4124%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 80.4124% of 97 is 0.804124 × 97 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/97 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 97 = 80.4124%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/97*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.
