How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 300 ÷ 50 = 6
  2. Multiply by 100: 6 × 100 = 600%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 600% of 50 is 6 × 50 = 300.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 300/50 = p/100, so p = 300 × 100 ÷ 50 = 600%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =300/50*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 (6 times as much) of 50. 300 goes past 50 by 250, which is another 500% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 300 items against a target of 50 means reaching 600% of the target, beating it by 500%.

Turning it around

If you know that 300 is 600% of a number, you can get that number back: 300 ÷ 6 = 50. And 50 as a percentage of 300 is 16.6667%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
