How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 17 ÷ 15 = 1.133333
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.133333 × 100 = 113.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 113.3333% of 15 is 1.133333 × 15 = 17.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/15 = p/100, so p = 17 × 100 ÷ 15 = 113.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17/15*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

17 is more than the whole amount (1.133 times as much) of 15. 17 goes past 15 by 2, which is another 13.3333% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 17 items against a target of 15 means reaching 113.3333% of the target, beating it by 13.3333%.

Turning it around

If you know that 17 is 113.3333% of a number, you can get that number back: 17 ÷ 1.133333 = 15. And 15 as a percentage of 17 is 88.2353%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
