How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 300 ÷ 125 = 2.4
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.4 × 100 = 240%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 240% of 125 is 2.4 × 125 = 300.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 300/125 = p/100, so p = 300 × 100 ÷ 125 = 240%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =300/125*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 (2.4 times as much) of 125. 300 goes past 125 by 175, which is another 140% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 300 items against a target of 125 means reaching 240% of the target, beating it by 140%.

Turning it around

If you know that 300 is 240% of a number, you can get that number back: 300 ÷ 2.4 = 125. And 125 as a percentage of 300 is 41.6667%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
