How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 300 ÷ 100 = 3
  2. Multiply by 100: 3 × 100 = 300%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 300% of 100 is 3 × 100 = 300.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 300/100 = p/100, so p = 300 × 100 ÷ 100 = 300%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =300/100*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

300 is more than the whole amount (3 times as much) of 100. 300 goes past 100 by 200, which is another 200% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 300 items against a target of 100 means reaching 300% of the target, beating it by 200%.

Turning it around

If you know that 300 is 300% of a number, you can get that number back: 300 ÷ 3 = 100. And 100 as a percentage of 300 is 33.3333%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
