How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 500 ÷ 490 = 1.020408
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.020408 × 100 = 102.0408%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 102.0408% of 490 is 1.020408 × 490 = 500.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 500/490 = p/100, so p = 500 × 100 ÷ 490 = 102.0408%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =500/490*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 (1.02 times as much) of 490. 500 goes past 490 by 10, which is another 2.0408% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 500 items against a target of 490 means reaching 102.0408% of the target, beating it by 2.0408%.

Turning it around

If you know that 500 is 102.0408% of a number, you can get that number back: 500 ÷ 1.020408 = 490. And 490 as a percentage of 500 is 98%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
