How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 47 ÷ 25 = 1.88
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.88 × 100 = 188%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 188% of 25 is 1.88 × 25 = 47.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/25 = p/100, so p = 47 × 100 ÷ 25 = 188%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47/25*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

47 is more than the whole amount (1.88 times as much) of 25. 47 goes past 25 by 22, which is another 88% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 47 items against a target of 25 means reaching 188% of the target, beating it by 88%.

Turning it around

If you know that 47 is 188% of a number, you can get that number back: 47 ÷ 1.88 = 25. And 25 as a percentage of 47 is 53.1915%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
