How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 500 ÷ 480 = 1.041667
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.041667 × 100 = 104.1667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 104.1667% of 480 is 1.041667 × 480 = 500.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 500/480 = p/100, so p = 500 × 100 ÷ 480 = 104.1667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =500/480*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 (1.042 times as much) of 480. 500 goes past 480 by 20, which is another 4.1667% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 500 items against a target of 480 means reaching 104.1667% of the target, beating it by 4.1667%.

Turning it around

If you know that 500 is 104.1667% of a number, you can get that number back: 500 ÷ 1.041667 = 480. And 480 as a percentage of 500 is 96%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
