How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 250 ÷ 10 = 25
  2. Multiply by 100: 25 × 100 = 2,500%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2,500% of 10 is 25 × 10 = 250.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 250/10 = p/100, so p = 250 × 100 ÷ 10 = 2,500%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =250/10*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

250 is more than the whole amount (25 times as much) of 10. 250 goes past 10 by 240, which is another 2,400% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 250 items against a target of 10 means reaching 2,500% of the target, beating it by 2,400%.

Turning it around

If you know that 250 is 2,500% of a number, you can get that number back: 250 ÷ 25 = 10. And 10 as a percentage of 250 is 4%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
