How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 73 ÷ 6 = 12.166667
  2. Multiply by 100: 12.166667 × 100 = 1,216.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1,216.6667% of 6 is 12.166667 × 6 = 73.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/6 = p/100, so p = 73 × 100 ÷ 6 = 1,216.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73/6*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 73 items against a target of 6 means reaching 1,216.6667% of the target, beating it by 1,116.6667%.
