How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 28 ÷ 15 = 1.866667
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.866667 × 100 = 186.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 186.6667% of 15 is 1.866667 × 15 = 28.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/15 = p/100, so p = 28 × 100 ÷ 15 = 186.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28/15*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

Targets: selling 28 items against a target of 15 means reaching 186.6667% of the target, beating it by 86.6667%.
