How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 500 ÷ 425 = 1.176471
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.176471 × 100 = 117.6471%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 117.6471% of 425 is 1.176471 × 425 = 500.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 500/425 = p/100, so p = 500 × 100 ÷ 425 = 117.6471%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =500/425*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.

Targets: selling 500 items against a target of 425 means reaching 117.6471% of the target, beating it by 17.6471%.
