How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 400 ÷ 120 = 3.333333
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.333333 × 100 = 333.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 333.3333% of 120 is 3.333333 × 120 = 400.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 400/120 = p/100, so p = 400 × 100 ÷ 120 = 333.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =400/120*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

400 is more than the whole amount (3.333 times as much) of 120. 400 goes past 120 by 280, which is another 233.3333% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 400 items against a target of 120 means reaching 333.3333% of the target, beating it by 233.3333%.

Turning it around

If you know that 400 is 333.3333% of a number, you can get that number back: 400 ÷ 3.333333 = 120. And 120 as a percentage of 400 is 30%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
