How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 300 ÷ 250 = 1.2
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.2 × 100 = 120%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 120% of 250 is 1.2 × 250 = 300.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 300/250 = p/100, so p = 300 × 100 ÷ 250 = 120%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =300/250*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 (1.2 times as much) of 250. 300 goes past 250 by 50, which is another 20% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 300 items against a target of 250 means reaching 120% of the target, beating it by 20%.

Turning it around

If you know that 300 is 120% of a number, you can get that number back: 300 ÷ 1.2 = 250. And 250 as a percentage of 300 is 83.3333%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
