How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 500 ÷ 340 = 1.470588
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.470588 × 100 = 147.0588%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 147.0588% of 340 is 1.470588 × 340 = 500.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 500/340 = p/100, so p = 500 × 100 ÷ 340 = 147.0588%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =500/340*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 (1.471 times as much) of 340. 500 goes past 340 by 160, which is another 47.0588% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 500 items against a target of 340 means reaching 147.0588% of the target, beating it by 47.0588%.

Turning it around

If you know that 500 is 147.0588% of a number, you can get that number back: 500 ÷ 1.470588 = 340. And 340 as a percentage of 500 is 68%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
