How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 1000 ÷ 250 = 4
  2. Multiply by 100: 4 × 100 = 400%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 400% of 250 is 4 × 250 = 1000.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1000/250 = p/100, so p = 1000 × 100 ÷ 250 = 400%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1000/250*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

1000 is more than the whole amount (4 times as much) of 250. 1000 goes past 250 by 750, which is another 300% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 1000 items against a target of 250 means reaching 400% of the target, beating it by 300%.

Turning it around

If you know that 1000 is 400% of a number, you can get that number back: 1000 ÷ 4 = 250. And 250 as a percentage of 1000 is 25%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
