How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 74 ÷ 3 = 24.666667
  2. Multiply by 100: 24.666667 × 100 = 2,466.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2,466.6667% of 3 is 24.666667 × 3 = 74.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 74/3 = p/100, so p = 74 × 100 ÷ 3 = 2,466.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =74/3*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 74 items against a target of 3 means reaching 2,466.6667% of the target, beating it by 2,366.6667%.
