How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 300 ÷ 60 = 5
  2. Multiply by 100: 5 × 100 = 500%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 500% of 60 is 5 × 60 = 300.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 300/60 = p/100, so p = 300 × 100 ÷ 60 = 500%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =300/60*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 (5 times as much) of 60. 300 goes past 60 by 240, which is another 400% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 300 items against a target of 60 means reaching 500% of the target, beating it by 400%.

Turning it around

If you know that 300 is 500% of a number, you can get that number back: 300 ÷ 5 = 60. And 60 as a percentage of 300 is 20%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
