How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 81 ÷ 80 = 1.0125
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.0125 × 100 = 101.25%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 101.25% of 80 is 1.0125 × 80 = 81.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 81/80 = p/100, so p = 81 × 100 ÷ 80 = 101.25%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =81/80*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

81 is more than the whole amount (1.012 times as much) of 80. 81 goes past 80 by 1, which is another 1.25% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 81 items against a target of 80 means reaching 101.25% of the target, beating it by 1.25%.

Turning it around

If you know that 81 is 101.25% of a number, you can get that number back: 81 ÷ 1.0125 = 80. And 80 as a percentage of 81 is 98.7654%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
