How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 150 ÷ 30 = 5
  2. Multiply by 100: 5 × 100 = 500%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 500% of 30 is 5 × 30 = 150.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 150/30 = p/100, so p = 150 × 100 ÷ 30 = 500%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =150/30*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 (5 times as much) of 30. 150 goes past 30 by 120, which is another 400% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 150 items against a target of 30 means reaching 500% of the target, beating it by 400%.

Turning it around

If you know that 150 is 500% of a number, you can get that number back: 150 ÷ 5 = 30. And 30 as a percentage of 150 is 20%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
