How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 76 ÷ 100 = 0.76
- Multiply: 0.76 × 78 = 59.28
- Check: Work backwards: 59.28 ÷ 78 × 100 = 76%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 76/100 = part/78, so part = 76 × 78 ÷ 100 = 59.28. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =76%*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.
