How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 60 ÷ 55 = 1.090909
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.090909 × 100 = 109.0909%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 109.0909% of 55 is 1.090909 × 55 = 60.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 60/55 = p/100, so p = 60 × 100 ÷ 55 = 109.0909%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =60/55*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

60 is more than the whole amount (1.091 times as much) of 55. 60 goes past 55 by 5, which is another 9.0909% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 60 items against a target of 55 means reaching 109.0909% of the target, beating it by 9.0909%.

Turning it around

If you know that 60 is 109.0909% of a number, you can get that number back: 60 ÷ 1.090909 = 55. And 55 as a percentage of 60 is 91.6667%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
