How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 78 ÷ 30 = 2.6
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.6 × 100 = 260%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 260% of 30 is 2.6 × 30 = 78.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/30 = p/100, so p = 78 × 100 ÷ 30 = 260%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78/30*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

78 is more than the whole amount (2.6 times as much) of 30. 78 goes past 30 by 48, which is another 160% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 78 items against a target of 30 means reaching 260% of the target, beating it by 160%.

Turning it around

If you know that 78 is 260% of a number, you can get that number back: 78 ÷ 2.6 = 30. And 30 as a percentage of 78 is 38.4615%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
