How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 150 ÷ 55 = 2.727273
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.727273 × 100 = 272.7273%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 272.7273% of 55 is 2.727273 × 55 = 150.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 150/55 = p/100, so p = 150 × 100 ÷ 55 = 272.7273%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =150/55*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.

Targets: selling 150 items against a target of 55 means reaching 272.7273% of the target, beating it by 172.7273%.
