How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 1000 ÷ 50 = 20
  2. Multiply by 100: 20 × 100 = 2,000%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2,000% of 50 is 20 × 50 = 1000.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1000/50 = p/100, so p = 1000 × 100 ÷ 50 = 2,000%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1000/50*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 (20 times as much) of 50. 1000 goes past 50 by 950, which is another 1,900% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 1000 items against a target of 50 means reaching 2,000% of the target, beating it by 1,900%.

Turning it around

If you know that 1000 is 2,000% of a number, you can get that number back: 1000 ÷ 20 = 50. And 50 as a percentage of 1000 is 5%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
