How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 66 ÷ 55 = 1.2
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.2 × 100 = 120%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 120% of 55 is 1.2 × 55 = 66.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/55 = p/100, so p = 66 × 100 ÷ 55 = 120%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =66/55*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

66 is more than the whole amount (1.2 times as much) of 55. 66 goes past 55 by 11, which is another 20% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 66 items against a target of 55 means reaching 120% of the target, beating it by 20%.

Turning it around

If you know that 66 is 120% of a number, you can get that number back: 66 ÷ 1.2 = 55. And 55 as a percentage of 66 is 83.3333%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
