How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 40 ÷ 34 = 1.176471
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.176471 × 100 = 117.6471%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 117.6471% of 34 is 1.176471 × 34 = 40.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/34 = p/100, so p = 40 × 100 ÷ 34 = 117.6471%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40/34*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.
