How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 500 ÷ 30 = 16.666667
  2. Multiply by 100: 16.666667 × 100 = 1,666.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1,666.6667% of 30 is 16.666667 × 30 = 500.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 500/30 = p/100, so p = 500 × 100 ÷ 30 = 1,666.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =500/30*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 (16.667 times as much) of 30. 500 goes past 30 by 470, which is another 1,566.6667% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 500 items against a target of 30 means reaching 1,666.6667% of the target, beating it by 1,566.6667%.

Turning it around

If you know that 500 is 1,666.6667% of a number, you can get that number back: 500 ÷ 16.666667 = 30. And 30 as a percentage of 500 is 6%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
