How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 60 ÷ 51 = 1.176471
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.176471 × 100 = 117.6471%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 117.6471% of 51 is 1.176471 × 51 = 60.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 60/51 = p/100, so p = 60 × 100 ÷ 51 = 117.6471%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =60/51*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

Targets: selling 60 items against a target of 51 means reaching 117.6471% of the target, beating it by 17.6471%.

Turning it around
