How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 27 ÷ 25 = 1.08
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.08 × 100 = 108%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 108% of 25 is 1.08 × 25 = 27.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/25 = p/100, so p = 27 × 100 ÷ 25 = 108%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27/25*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

27 is more than the whole amount (1.08 times as much) of 25. 27 goes past 25 by 2, which is another 8% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 27 items against a target of 25 means reaching 108% of the target, beating it by 8%.

Turning it around

If you know that 27 is 108% of a number, you can get that number back: 27 ÷ 1.08 = 25. And 25 as a percentage of 27 is 92.5926%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
