How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 75 ÷ 48 = 1.5625
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.5625 × 100 = 156.25%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 156.25% of 48 is 1.5625 × 48 = 75.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/48 = p/100, so p = 75 × 100 ÷ 48 = 156.25%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75/48*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

75 is more than the whole amount (1.563 times as much) of 48. 75 goes past 48 by 27, which is another 56.25% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 75 items against a target of 48 means reaching 156.25% of the target, beating it by 56.25%.

Turning it around

If you know that 75 is 156.25% of a number, you can get that number back: 75 ÷ 1.5625 = 48. And 48 as a percentage of 75 is 64%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
