The idea

Every store gets a sales target for the week. % of target shows how close it came:

Formulas

Sales ÷ Target × 100

Key points

% of targetHow much of its sales target a store reached. 100% means it hit the number exactly.
Work it outDivide sales by the target, then multiply by 100.
Read itOver 100% beat the target. Under 100% missed it: 80% means 20% short.

% of target answers one question: did we do what we planned?

Practice

Try each one in your head first, then open the answer.

1. What % of its target did Montreal hit?
$9,000 ÷ $10,000 × 100 = 90%
2. In D2, work out Toronto's % of target: sales ÷ target, as a decimal (no × 100).
=B2/C2
3. Tap a store that beat its target.
Over 100% means the store beat its number.
4. Toronto sold $12,000, more than three other stores, but reached only 80% of target. What does that tell you?
Its target was $15,000, so it fell $3,000 short
