How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 250 ÷ 100 = 2.5
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.5 × 100 = 250%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 250% of 100 is 2.5 × 100 = 250.

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

In a spreadsheet: =250/100*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 (2.5 times as much) of 100. 250 goes past 100 by 150, which is another 150% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 250 items against a target of 100 means reaching 250% of the target, beating it by 150%.

Turning it around

If you know that 250 is 250% of a number, you can get that number back: 250 ÷ 2.5 = 100. And 100 as a percentage of 250 is 40%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
