How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 300 ÷ 85 = 3.529412
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.529412 × 100 = 352.9412%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 352.9412% of 85 is 3.529412 × 85 = 300.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 300/85 = p/100, so p = 300 × 100 ÷ 85 = 352.9412%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =300/85*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.

Targets: selling 300 items against a target of 85 means reaching 352.9412% of the target, beating it by 252.9412%.
