How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 40 ÷ 30 = 1.333333
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.333333 × 100 = 133.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 133.3333% of 30 is 1.333333 × 30 = 40.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/30 = p/100, so p = 40 × 100 ÷ 30 = 133.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40/30*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 (1.333 times as much) of 30. 40 goes past 30 by 10, which is another 33.3333% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 40 items against a target of 30 means reaching 133.3333% of the target, beating it by 33.3333%.

Turning it around

If you know that 40 is 133.3333% of a number, you can get that number back: 40 ÷ 1.333333 = 30. And 30 as a percentage of 40 is 75%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
