How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 250 ÷ 40 = 6.25
  2. Multiply by 100: 6.25 × 100 = 625%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 625% of 40 is 6.25 × 40 = 250.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 250/40 = p/100, so p = 250 × 100 ÷ 40 = 625%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =250/40*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 (6.25 times as much) of 40. 250 goes past 40 by 210, which is another 525% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 250 items against a target of 40 means reaching 625% of the target, beating it by 525%.

Turning it around

If you know that 250 is 625% of a number, you can get that number back: 250 ÷ 6.25 = 40. And 40 as a percentage of 250 is 16%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
