How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 83 ÷ 70 = 1.185714
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.185714 × 100 = 118.5714%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 118.5714% of 70 is 1.185714 × 70 = 83.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/70 = p/100, so p = 83 × 100 ÷ 70 = 118.5714%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =83/70*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.
