How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 79 ÷ 81 = 0.975309
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.975309 × 100 = 97.5309%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 97.5309% of 81 is 0.975309 × 81 = 79.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 79/81 = p/100, so p = 79 × 100 ÷ 81 = 97.5309%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =79/81*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.
