How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 98 ÷ 96 = 1.020833
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.020833 × 100 = 102.0833%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 102.0833% of 96 is 1.020833 × 96 = 98.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/96 = p/100, so p = 98 × 100 ÷ 96 = 102.0833%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98/96*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

98 is more than the whole amount (1.021 times as much) of 96. 98 goes past 96 by 2, which is another 2.0833% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 98 items against a target of 96 means reaching 102.0833% of the target, beating it by 2.0833%.

Turning it around

If you know that 98 is 102.0833% of a number, you can get that number back: 98 ÷ 1.020833 = 96. And 96 as a percentage of 98 is 97.9592%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
