How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 24 ÷ 5 = 4.8
  2. Multiply by 100: 4.8 × 100 = 480%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 480% of 5 is 4.8 × 5 = 24.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/5 = p/100, so p = 24 × 100 ÷ 5 = 480%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24/5*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

24 is more than the whole amount (4.8 times as much) of 5. 24 goes past 5 by 19, which is another 380% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 24 items against a target of 5 means reaching 480% of the target, beating it by 380%.

Turning it around

If you know that 24 is 480% of a number, you can get that number back: 24 ÷ 4.8 = 5. And 5 as a percentage of 24 is 20.8333%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
