How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 150 ÷ 125 = 1.2
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.2 × 100 = 120%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 120% of 125 is 1.2 × 125 = 150.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 150/125 = p/100, so p = 150 × 100 ÷ 125 = 120%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =150/125*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

150 is more than the whole amount (1.2 times as much) of 125. 150 goes past 125 by 25, which is another 20% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 150 items against a target of 125 means reaching 120% of the target, beating it by 20%.

Turning it around

If you know that 150 is 120% of a number, you can get that number back: 150 ÷ 1.2 = 125. And 125 as a percentage of 150 is 83.3333%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
