How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 50 ÷ 16 = 3.125
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.125 × 100 = 312.5%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 312.5% of 16 is 3.125 × 16 = 50.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/16 = p/100, so p = 50 × 100 ÷ 16 = 312.5%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =50/16*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

50 is more than the whole amount (3.125 times as much) of 16. 50 goes past 16 by 34, which is another 212.5% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 50 items against a target of 16 means reaching 312.5% of the target, beating it by 212.5%.

Turning it around

If you know that 50 is 312.5% of a number, you can get that number back: 50 ÷ 3.125 = 16. And 16 as a percentage of 50 is 32%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
