How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 97 ÷ 78 = 1.24359
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.24359 × 100 = 124.359%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 124.359% of 78 is 1.24359 × 78 = 97.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/78 = p/100, so p = 97 × 100 ÷ 78 = 124.359%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97/78*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.
