How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 9 ÷ 7 = 1.285714
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.285714 × 100 = 128.5714%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 128.5714% of 7 is 1.285714 × 7 = 9.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/7 = p/100, so p = 9 × 100 ÷ 7 = 128.5714%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9/7*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

9 is more than the whole amount (1.286 times as much) of 7. 9 goes past 7 by 2, which is another 28.5714% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 9 items against a target of 7 means reaching 128.5714% of the target, beating it by 28.5714%.

Turning it around
