How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 87 ÷ 77 = 1.12987
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.12987 × 100 = 112.987%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 112.987% of 77 is 1.12987 × 77 = 87.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/77 = p/100, so p = 87 × 100 ÷ 77 = 112.987%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =87/77*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 (1.13 times as much) of 77. 87 goes past 77 by 10, which is another 12.987% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 87 items against a target of 77 means reaching 112.987% of the target, beating it by 12.987%.

Turning it around
