How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 28 ÷ 27 = 1.037037
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.037037 × 100 = 103.7037%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 103.7037% of 27 is 1.037037 × 27 = 28.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/27 = p/100, so p = 28 × 100 ÷ 27 = 103.7037%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28/27*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 (1.037 times as much) of 27. 28 goes past 27 by 1, which is another 3.7037% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 28 items against a target of 27 means reaching 103.7037% of the target, beating it by 3.7037%.
