How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 57 ÷ 20 = 2.85
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.85 × 100 = 285%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 285% of 20 is 2.85 × 20 = 57.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/20 = p/100, so p = 57 × 100 ÷ 20 = 285%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57/20*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

57 is more than the whole amount (2.85 times as much) of 20. 57 goes past 20 by 37, which is another 185% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 57 items against a target of 20 means reaching 285% of the target, beating it by 185%.

Turning it around

If you know that 57 is 285% of a number, you can get that number back: 57 ÷ 2.85 = 20. And 20 as a percentage of 57 is 35.0877%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
