How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 15 = 3.666667
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.666667 × 100 = 366.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 366.6667% of 15 is 3.666667 × 15 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/15 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 15 = 366.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/15*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

55 is more than the whole amount (3.667 times as much) of 15. 55 goes past 15 by 40, which is another 266.6667% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 55 items against a target of 15 means reaching 366.6667% of the target, beating it by 266.6667%.

Turning it around

If you know that 55 is 366.6667% of a number, you can get that number back: 55 ÷ 3.666667 = 15. And 15 as a percentage of 55 is 27.2727%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
