How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 86 ÷ 74 = 1.162162
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.162162 × 100 = 116.2162%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 116.2162% of 74 is 1.162162 × 74 = 86.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 86/74 = p/100, so p = 86 × 100 ÷ 74 = 116.2162%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =86/74*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.
