How to work it out

- Multiply: 1 × 78 = 78
- Check: Work backwards: 78 ÷ 78 × 100 = 100%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 100/100 = part/78, so part = 100 × 78 ÷ 100 = 78. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =100%*78. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means

Adding and taking away 100%
