How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 79 ÷ 23 = 3.434783
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.434783 × 100 = 343.4783%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 343.4783% of 23 is 3.434783 × 23 = 79.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 79/23 = p/100, so p = 79 × 100 ÷ 23 = 343.4783%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =79/23*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.
