How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 250 ÷ 160 = 1.5625
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.5625 × 100 = 156.25%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 156.25% of 160 is 1.5625 × 160 = 250.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 250/160 = p/100, so p = 250 × 100 ÷ 160 = 156.25%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =250/160*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 (1.563 times as much) of 160. 250 goes past 160 by 90, which is another 56.25% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 250 items against a target of 160 means reaching 156.25% of the target, beating it by 56.25%.

Turning it around

If you know that 250 is 156.25% of a number, you can get that number back: 250 ÷ 1.5625 = 160. And 160 as a percentage of 250 is 64%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
