How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 300 ÷ 170 = 1.764706
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.764706 × 100 = 176.4706%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 176.4706% of 170 is 1.764706 × 170 = 300.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 300/170 = p/100, so p = 300 × 100 ÷ 170 = 176.4706%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =300/170*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 (1.765 times as much) of 170. 300 goes past 170 by 130, which is another 76.4706% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 300 items against a target of 170 means reaching 176.4706% of the target, beating it by 76.4706%.

Turning it around

If you know that 300 is 176.4706% of a number, you can get that number back: 300 ÷ 1.764706 = 170. And 170 as a percentage of 300 is 56.6667%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
