The answer to the qustion as written is 96 is 133.3333(repeating) percent or put simply 133% of 72. The term 'percent' comes directly from latin meaning 'every one hundered' so I'll describe how to calculate a percentage using simple algebra... let's call the number you want as a percentage 'A' and the number you want it as a percentage of as 'B' So a question... What percentage is A of B? In your question A=96 and B=72 so to calculate the answer for you I divided 96 by 72 to get 1.3333333 (repeating, the point three doesn't stop in the answer). To turn that into a percentage I have to multiply the result (1.33333 etc.) by 100 and I get the answer 133% (rounded).
Here's another examples... 58 (my age) as a percentage of my expected life-span (72 for males in England)... I have lived (58 divided by 72 multiplied by 100 = 80.5%) of my expected life time, crickey, better get a move on, not much time left, things to do, things to do ;)
