How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 14 ÷ 40 = 0.35
- Multiply by 100: 0.35 × 100 = 35%
- Check: Work backwards: 35% of 40 is 0.35 × 40 = 14.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/40 = p/100, so p = 14 × 100 ÷ 40 = 35%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =14/40*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.
