How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 250 ÷ 240 = 1.041667
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.041667 × 100 = 104.1667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 104.1667% of 240 is 1.041667 × 240 = 250.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 250/240 = p/100, so p = 250 × 100 ÷ 240 = 104.1667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =250/240*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 (1.042 times as much) of 240. 250 goes past 240 by 10, which is another 4.1667% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 250 items against a target of 240 means reaching 104.1667% of the target, beating it by 4.1667%.

Turning it around

If you know that 250 is 104.1667% of a number, you can get that number back: 250 ÷ 1.041667 = 240. And 240 as a percentage of 250 is 96%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
