How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 99 ÷ 33 = 3
  2. Multiply by 100: 3 × 100 = 300%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 300% of 33 is 3 × 33 = 99.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/33 = p/100, so p = 99 × 100 ÷ 33 = 300%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99/33*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

99 is more than the whole amount (3 times as much) of 33. 99 goes past 33 by 66, which is another 200% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 99 items against a target of 33 means reaching 300% of the target, beating it by 200%.

Turning it around

If you know that 99 is 300% of a number, you can get that number back: 99 ÷ 3 = 33. And 33 as a percentage of 99 is 33.3333%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
