How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 250 ÷ 85 = 2.941176
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.941176 × 100 = 294.1176%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 294.1176% of 85 is 2.941176 × 85 = 250.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 250/85 = p/100, so p = 250 × 100 ÷ 85 = 294.1176%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =250/85*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.
