How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 400 ÷ 125 = 3.2
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.2 × 100 = 320%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 320% of 125 is 3.2 × 125 = 400.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 400/125 = p/100, so p = 400 × 100 ÷ 125 = 320%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =400/125*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 (3.2 times as much) of 125. 400 goes past 125 by 275, which is another 220% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 400 items against a target of 125 means reaching 320% of the target, beating it by 220%.

Turning it around

If you know that 400 is 320% of a number, you can get that number back: 400 ÷ 3.2 = 125. And 125 as a percentage of 400 is 31.25%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
