How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 1000 ÷ 800 = 1.25
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.25 × 100 = 125%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 125% of 800 is 1.25 × 800 = 1000.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1000/800 = p/100, so p = 1000 × 100 ÷ 800 = 125%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1000/800*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 (1.25 times as much) of 800. 1000 goes past 800 by 200, which is another 25% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 1000 items against a target of 800 means reaching 125% of the target, beating it by 25%.

Turning it around

If you know that 1000 is 125% of a number, you can get that number back: 1000 ÷ 1.25 = 800. And 800 as a percentage of 1000 is 80%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
