How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 98 ÷ 72 = 1.361111
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.361111 × 100 = 136.1111%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 136.1111% of 72 is 1.361111 × 72 = 98.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/72 = p/100, so p = 98 × 100 ÷ 72 = 136.1111%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98/72*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.
