How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 79 ÷ 43 = 1.837209
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.837209 × 100 = 183.7209%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 183.7209% of 43 is 1.837209 × 43 = 79.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 79/43 = p/100, so p = 79 × 100 ÷ 43 = 183.7209%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =79/43*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.
