How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 300 ÷ 280 = 1.071429
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.071429 × 100 = 107.1429%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 107.1429% of 280 is 1.071429 × 280 = 300.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 300/280 = p/100, so p = 300 × 100 ÷ 280 = 107.1429%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =300/280*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 (1.071 times as much) of 280. 300 goes past 280 by 20, which is another 7.1429% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 300 items against a target of 280 means reaching 107.1429% of the target, beating it by 7.1429%.
