How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 70 ÷ 24 = 2.916667
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.916667 × 100 = 291.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 291.6667% of 24 is 2.916667 × 24 = 70.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/24 = p/100, so p = 70 × 100 ÷ 24 = 291.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70/24*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 70 items against a target of 24 means reaching 291.6667% of the target, beating it by 191.6667%.
