How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 79 ÷ 9 = 8.777778
  2. Multiply by 100: 8.777778 × 100 = 877.7778%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 877.7778% of 9 is 8.777778 × 9 = 79.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 79/9 = p/100, so p = 79 × 100 ÷ 9 = 877.7778%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =79/9*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 9 means reaching 877.7778% of the target, beating it by 777.7778%.
