How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 250 ÷ 215 = 1.162791
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.162791 × 100 = 116.2791%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 116.2791% of 215 is 1.162791 × 215 = 250.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 250/215 = p/100, so p = 250 × 100 ÷ 215 = 116.2791%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =250/215*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 215 means reaching 116.2791% of the target, beating it by 16.2791%.
