How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 71 ÷ 6 = 11.833333
  2. Multiply by 100: 11.833333 × 100 = 1,183.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1,183.3333% of 6 is 11.833333 × 6 = 71.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/6 = p/100, so p = 71 × 100 ÷ 6 = 1,183.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71/6*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 71 items against a target of 6 means reaching 1,183.3333% of the target, beating it by 1,083.3333%.
