How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 10 ÷ 5 = 2
- Multiply by 100: 2 × 100 = 200%
- Check: Work backwards: 200% of 5 is 2 × 5 = 10.
In a spreadsheet: =10/5*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.
What the result means
10 is more than the whole amount (2 times as much) of 5. 10 goes past 5 by 5, which is another 100% on top of the whole.
Targets: selling 10 items against a target of 5 means reaching 200% of the target, beating it by 100%.
Turning it around
If you know that 10 is 200% of a number, you can get that number back: 10 ÷ 2 = 5. And 5 as a percentage of 10 is 50%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
