How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 31 ÷ 18 = 1.722222
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.722222 × 100 = 172.2222%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 172.2222% of 18 is 1.722222 × 18 = 31.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/18 = p/100, so p = 31 × 100 ÷ 18 = 172.2222%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31/18*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

31 is more than the whole amount (1.722 times as much) of 18. 31 goes past 18 by 13, which is another 72.2222% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 31 items against a target of 18 means reaching 172.2222% of the target, beating it by 72.2222%.

Turning it around

If you know that 31 is 172.2222% of a number, you can get that number back: 31 ÷ 1.722222 = 18. And 18 as a percentage of 31 is 58.0645%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
