How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 28 ÷ 16 = 1.75
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.75 × 100 = 175%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 175% of 16 is 1.75 × 16 = 28.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/16 = p/100, so p = 28 × 100 ÷ 16 = 175%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28/16*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

28 is more than the whole amount (1.75 times as much) of 16. 28 goes past 16 by 12, which is another 75% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 28 items against a target of 16 means reaching 175% of the target, beating it by 75%.

Turning it around

If you know that 28 is 175% of a number, you can get that number back: 28 ÷ 1.75 = 16. And 16 as a percentage of 28 is 57.1429%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
