How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 87 ÷ 74 = 1.175676
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.175676 × 100 = 117.5676%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 117.5676% of 74 is 1.175676 × 74 = 87.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/74 = p/100, so p = 87 × 100 ÷ 74 = 117.5676%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =87/74*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.
