How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 500 ÷ 150 = 3.333333
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.333333 × 100 = 333.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 333.3333% of 150 is 3.333333 × 150 = 500.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 500/150 = p/100, so p = 500 × 100 ÷ 150 = 333.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =500/150*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

500 is more than the whole amount (3.333 times as much) of 150. 500 goes past 150 by 350, which is another 233.3333% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 500 items against a target of 150 means reaching 333.3333% of the target, beating it by 233.3333%.

Turning it around

If you know that 500 is 333.3333% of a number, you can get that number back: 500 ÷ 3.333333 = 150. And 150 as a percentage of 500 is 30%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
