How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 81 ÷ 73 = 1.109589
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.109589 × 100 = 110.9589%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 110.9589% of 73 is 1.109589 × 73 = 81.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 81/73 = p/100, so p = 81 × 100 ÷ 73 = 110.9589%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =81/73*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.
