How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 36 ÷ 31 = 1.16129
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.16129 × 100 = 116.129%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 116.129% of 31 is 1.16129 × 31 = 36.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/31 = p/100, so p = 36 × 100 ÷ 31 = 116.129%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36/31*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

36 is more than the whole amount (1.161 times as much) of 31. 36 goes past 31 by 5, which is another 16.129% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 36 items against a target of 31 means reaching 116.129% of the target, beating it by 16.129%.

Turning it around
