How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 37 ÷ 16 = 2.3125
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.3125 × 100 = 231.25%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 231.25% of 16 is 2.3125 × 16 = 37.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/16 = p/100, so p = 37 × 100 ÷ 16 = 231.25%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37/16*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

37 is more than the whole amount (2.313 times as much) of 16. 37 goes past 16 by 21, which is another 131.25% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 37 items against a target of 16 means reaching 231.25% of the target, beating it by 131.25%.

Turning it around
