How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 250 ÷ 70 = 3.571429
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.571429 × 100 = 357.1429%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 357.1429% of 70 is 3.571429 × 70 = 250.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 250/70 = p/100, so p = 250 × 100 ÷ 70 = 357.1429%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =250/70*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 70 means reaching 357.1429% of the target, beating it by 257.1429%.
