How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 26 ÷ 40 = 0.65
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.65 × 100 = 65%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 65% of 40 is 0.65 × 40 = 26.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/40 = p/100, so p = 26 × 100 ÷ 40 = 65%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26/40*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.

What the result means

26 is more than half but less than three quarters of 40. The part that is left, 14, is the other 35%.

Test scores: 26 correct answers out of 40 is a score of 65%, which on a common US grading scale is a D.

Turning it around

If you know that 26 is 65% of a number, you can get that number back: 26 ÷ 0.65 = 40. And 40 as a percentage of 26 is 153.8462%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
