How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 150 ÷ 70 = 2.142857
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.142857 × 100 = 214.2857%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 214.2857% of 70 is 2.142857 × 70 = 150.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 150/70 = p/100, so p = 150 × 100 ÷ 70 = 214.2857%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =150/70*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 70 means reaching 214.2857% of the target, beating it by 114.2857%.
