How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 40 ÷ 31 = 1.290323
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.290323 × 100 = 129.0323%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 129.0323% of 31 is 1.290323 × 31 = 40.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/31 = p/100, so p = 40 × 100 ÷ 31 = 129.0323%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40/31*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 (1.29 times as much) of 31. 40 goes past 31 by 9, which is another 29.0323% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 40 items against a target of 31 means reaching 129.0323% of the target, beating it by 29.0323%.

Turning it around

If you know that 40 is 129.0323% of a number, you can get that number back: 40 ÷ 1.290323 = 31. And 31 as a percentage of 40 is 77.5%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
