How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 40 ÷ 300 = 0.133333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.133333 × 100 = 13.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.3333% of 300 is 0.133333 × 300 = 40.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/300 = p/100, so p = 40 × 100 ÷ 300 = 13.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40/300*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 between a tenth and a quarter of 300. The part that is left, 260, is the other 86.6667%.
