How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 250 ÷ 155 = 1.612903
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.612903 × 100 = 161.2903%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 161.2903% of 155 is 1.612903 × 155 = 250.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 250/155 = p/100, so p = 250 × 100 ÷ 155 = 161.2903%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =250/155*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.

Targets: selling 250 items against a target of 155 means reaching 161.2903% of the target, beating it by 61.2903%.
