How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 51 ÷ 47 = 1.085106
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.085106 × 100 = 108.5106%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 108.5106% of 47 is 1.085106 × 47 = 51.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/47 = p/100, so p = 51 × 100 ÷ 47 = 108.5106%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =51/47*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 (1.085 times as much) of 47. 51 goes past 47 by 4, which is another 8.5106% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 51 items against a target of 47 means reaching 108.5106% of the target, beating it by 8.5106%.

Turning it around
