How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 51 ÷ 17 = 3
  2. Multiply by 100: 3 × 100 = 300%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 300% of 17 is 3 × 17 = 51.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/17 = p/100, so p = 51 × 100 ÷ 17 = 300%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =51/17*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

51 is more than the whole amount (3 times as much) of 17. 51 goes past 17 by 34, which is another 200% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 51 items against a target of 17 means reaching 300% of the target, beating it by 200%.

Turning it around

If you know that 51 is 300% of a number, you can get that number back: 51 ÷ 3 = 17. And 17 as a percentage of 51 is 33.3333%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
