How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 84 ÷ 79 = 1.063291
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.063291 × 100 = 106.3291%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 106.3291% of 79 is 1.063291 × 79 = 84.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/79 = p/100, so p = 84 × 100 ÷ 79 = 106.3291%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84/79*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.
