How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 96 ÷ 12 = 8
  2. Multiply by 100: 8 × 100 = 800%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 800% of 12 is 8 × 12 = 96.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/12 = p/100, so p = 96 × 100 ÷ 12 = 800%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =96/12*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

96 is more than the whole amount (8 times as much) of 12. 96 goes past 12 by 84, which is another 700% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 96 items against a target of 12 means reaching 800% of the target, beating it by 700%.

Turning it around

If you know that 96 is 800% of a number, you can get that number back: 96 ÷ 8 = 12. And 12 as a percentage of 96 is 12.5%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
