How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 87 ÷ 86 = 1.011628
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.011628 × 100 = 101.1628%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 101.1628% of 86 is 1.011628 × 86 = 87.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/86 = p/100, so p = 87 × 100 ÷ 86 = 101.1628%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =87/86*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 87 items against a target of 86 means reaching 101.1628% of the target, beating it by 1.1628%.

Turning it around
