How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 300 ÷ 255 = 1.176471
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.176471 × 100 = 117.6471%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 117.6471% of 255 is 1.176471 × 255 = 300.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 300/255 = p/100, so p = 300 × 100 ÷ 255 = 117.6471%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =300/255*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 (1.176 times as much) of 255. 300 goes past 255 by 45, which is another 17.6471% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 300 items against a target of 255 means reaching 117.6471% of the target, beating it by 17.6471%.
