How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 79 ÷ 26 = 3.038462
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.038462 × 100 = 303.8462%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 303.8462% of 26 is 3.038462 × 26 = 79.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 79/26 = p/100, so p = 79 × 100 ÷ 26 = 303.8462%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =79/26*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.
