How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 15 ÷ 14 = 1.071429
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.071429 × 100 = 107.1429%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 107.1429% of 14 is 1.071429 × 14 = 15.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 15/14 = p/100, so p = 15 × 100 ÷ 14 = 107.1429%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =15/14*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

15 is more than the whole amount (1.071 times as much) of 14. 15 goes past 14 by 1, which is another 7.1429% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 15 items against a target of 14 means reaching 107.1429% of the target, beating it by 7.1429%.

Turning it around

If you know that 15 is 107.1429% of a number, you can get that number back: 15 ÷ 1.071429 = 14. And 14 as a percentage of 15 is 93.3333%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
