How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 40 ÷ 18 = 2.222222
  2. Multiply by 100: 2.222222 × 100 = 222.2222%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 222.2222% of 18 is 2.222222 × 18 = 40.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/18 = p/100, so p = 40 × 100 ÷ 18 = 222.2222%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40/18*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

40 is more than the whole amount (2.222 times as much) of 18. 40 goes past 18 by 22, which is another 122.2222% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 40 items against a target of 18 means reaching 222.2222% of the target, beating it by 122.2222%.

Turning it around

If you know that 40 is 222.2222% of a number, you can get that number back: 40 ÷ 2.222222 = 18. And 18 as a percentage of 40 is 45%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
