How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 300 ÷ 160 = 1.875
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.875 × 100 = 187.5%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 187.5% of 160 is 1.875 × 160 = 300.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 300/160 = p/100, so p = 300 × 100 ÷ 160 = 187.5%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =300/160*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 (1.875 times as much) of 160. 300 goes past 160 by 140, which is another 87.5% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 300 items against a target of 160 means reaching 187.5% of the target, beating it by 87.5%.

Turning it around

If you know that 300 is 187.5% of a number, you can get that number back: 300 ÷ 1.875 = 160. And 160 as a percentage of 300 is 53.3333%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
