How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 500 ÷ 60 = 8.333333
  2. Multiply by 100: 8.333333 × 100 = 833.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 833.3333% of 60 is 8.333333 × 60 = 500.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 500/60 = p/100, so p = 500 × 100 ÷ 60 = 833.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =500/60*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 (8.333 times as much) of 60. 500 goes past 60 by 440, which is another 733.3333% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 500 items against a target of 60 means reaching 833.3333% of the target, beating it by 733.3333%.

Turning it around

If you know that 500 is 833.3333% of a number, you can get that number back: 500 ÷ 8.333333 = 60. And 60 as a percentage of 500 is 12%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
