How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 400 ÷ 85 = 4.705882
  2. Multiply by 100: 4.705882 × 100 = 470.5882%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 470.5882% of 85 is 4.705882 × 85 = 400.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 400/85 = p/100, so p = 400 × 100 ÷ 85 = 470.5882%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =400/85*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.

Targets: selling 400 items against a target of 85 means reaching 470.5882% of the target, beating it by 370.5882%.
