How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 79 ÷ 28 = 2.821429
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.821429 × 100 = 282.1429%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 282.1429% of 28 is 2.821429 × 28 = 79.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 79/28 = p/100, so p = 79 × 100 ÷ 28 = 282.1429%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =79/28*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.
