How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 40 ÷ 27 = 1.481481
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.481481 × 100 = 148.1481%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 148.1481% of 27 is 1.481481 × 27 = 40.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/27 = p/100, so p = 40 × 100 ÷ 27 = 148.1481%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40/27*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 (1.481 times as much) of 27. 40 goes past 27 by 13, which is another 48.1481% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 40 items against a target of 27 means reaching 148.1481% of the target, beating it by 48.1481%.

Turning it around

If you know that 40 is 148.1481% of a number, you can get that number back: 40 ÷ 1.481481 = 27. And 27 as a percentage of 40 is 67.5%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
