How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 55 ÷ 16 = 3.4375
  2. Multiply by 100: 3.4375 × 100 = 343.75%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 343.75% of 16 is 3.4375 × 16 = 55.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/16 = p/100, so p = 55 × 100 ÷ 16 = 343.75%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55/16*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 (3.438 times as much) of 16. 55 goes past 16 by 39, which is another 243.75% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 55 items against a target of 16 means reaching 343.75% of the target, beating it by 243.75%.

Turning it around

If you know that 55 is 343.75% of a number, you can get that number back: 55 ÷ 3.4375 = 16. And 16 as a percentage of 55 is 29.0909%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
