How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 300 ÷ 285 = 1.052632
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.052632 × 100 = 105.2632%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 105.2632% of 285 is 1.052632 × 285 = 300.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 300/285 = p/100, so p = 300 × 100 ÷ 285 = 105.2632%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =300/285*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 (1.053 times as much) of 285. 300 goes past 285 by 15, which is another 5.2632% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 300 items against a target of 285 means reaching 105.2632% of the target, beating it by 5.2632%.

Turning it around

If you know that 300 is 105.2632% of a number, you can get that number back: 300 ÷ 1.052632 = 285. And 285 as a percentage of 300 is 95%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
