How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 250 ÷ 140 = 1.785714
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.785714 × 100 = 178.5714%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 178.5714% of 140 is 1.785714 × 140 = 250.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 250/140 = p/100, so p = 250 × 100 ÷ 140 = 178.5714%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =250/140*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.
