How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 87 ÷ 58 = 1.5
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.5 × 100 = 150%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 150% of 58 is 1.5 × 58 = 87.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/58 = p/100, so p = 87 × 100 ÷ 58 = 150%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =87/58*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

87 is more than the whole amount (1.5 times as much) of 58. 87 goes past 58 by 29, which is another 50% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 87 items against a target of 58 means reaching 150% of the target, beating it by 50%.

Turning it around

If you know that 87 is 150% of a number, you can get that number back: 87 ÷ 1.5 = 58. And 58 as a percentage of 87 is 66.6667%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
