How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 40 ÷ 29 = 1.37931
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.37931 × 100 = 137.931%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 137.931% of 29 is 1.37931 × 29 = 40.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/29 = p/100, so p = 40 × 100 ÷ 29 = 137.931%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40/29*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
