How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 38 ÷ 37 = 1.027027
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.027027 × 100 = 102.7027%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 102.7027% of 37 is 1.027027 × 37 = 38.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/37 = p/100, so p = 38 × 100 ÷ 37 = 102.7027%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38/37*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

38 is more than the whole amount (1.027 times as much) of 37. 38 goes past 37 by 1, which is another 2.7027% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 38 items against a target of 37 means reaching 102.7027% of the target, beating it by 2.7027%.

Turning it around

If you know that 38 is 102.7027% of a number, you can get that number back: 38 ÷ 1.027027 = 37. And 37 as a percentage of 38 is 97.3684%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
