How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 58 ÷ 50 = 1.16
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.16 × 100 = 116%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 116% of 50 is 1.16 × 50 = 58.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/50 = p/100, so p = 58 × 100 ÷ 50 = 116%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =58/50*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

58 is more than the whole amount (1.16 times as much) of 50. 58 goes past 50 by 8, which is another 16% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 58 items against a target of 50 means reaching 116% of the target, beating it by 16%.

Turning it around

If you know that 58 is 116% of a number, you can get that number back: 58 ÷ 1.16 = 50. And 50 as a percentage of 58 is 86.2069%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
