How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 79 ÷ 75 = 1.053333
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.053333 × 100 = 105.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 105.3333% of 75 is 1.053333 × 75 = 79.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 79/75 = p/100, so p = 79 × 100 ÷ 75 = 105.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =79/75*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 79 items against a target of 75 means reaching 105.3333% of the target, beating it by 5.3333%.

Turning it around
