How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 92 ÷ 72 = 1.277778
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.277778 × 100 = 127.7778%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 127.7778% of 72 is 1.277778 × 72 = 92.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 92/72 = p/100, so p = 92 × 100 ÷ 72 = 127.7778%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =92/72*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.
